10 Odd Cat Behaviors Explained
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In this video, we will talk about 10 odd things cats do and explain the meanings behind them.
Why cats spray urine
Cats have numerous ways to leave messages for each other, and one way is through urine marking. By spraying a concentrated mix of urine on vertical surfaces, cats mark their territory and claim certain areas or territories for themselves. By leaving urine marks, cats can even let the opposite sex know that they're available for mating.
Why cats meow when they see you
You have probably noticed that your pet makes grand announcements with meows, yowls or anything between, when they enter a room or area in the home that is occupied by you. Oftentimes, these announcements are requests for food, treats, going outside, or access to closed doors. Other times, your cat just hates to be ignored and they simply want to interact. Cats want to be the center of attention, especially within the home environment. They often use meows or yowls to get you to notice them. They are inviting you to talk and respond to their vocalizations.
Why cats aren’t sleeping at night
Cats are crepuscular animals meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk. They prefer hours with less light to go hunting, feed, and perform other activities. To make sure your kitty sleeps through the night, provide them with plenty of things to do during the day, including plenty of exercise opportunities.
Why cats reach their paw out to you
Cats may have a reputation for being aloof and independent but they still need attention and they can become unhappy or jealous if you neglect them. If you've been ignoring your cat, you may find them doing all sorts of cute things to get your attention. Some cats will make hard-to-ignore meows, others will sit on your laptop or snuggle up to you to express that they are lonely. By reaching out a paw to you, your cat may be trying to get your attention and affection.
An outstretched paw can also indicate a request for something, like food.
Of course, a reaching out paw might also just be part of your cat’s stretching. A feline who is relaxed will fully extend a paw or two to stretch their muscles.
Why cats get hyper after they poop
Many cats run here and there after pooping.
Some animal behaviorists link this post-litter box zoomies to a cat's innate survival instinct, noting that a cat might fear that a predator could track them based on the smell of their waste.
Interestingly enough, another theory shows that both humans and cats have vagus nerves that run all the way to their colon. In both species, this nerve can be stimulated by defecation causing excitement and running around. . On the other hand, if your cat bolts away in discomfort after letting out a stool, there may be an underlying health issue.
Why do cats follow you to the bathroom?
More often than not, cats follow us into the bathroom because they like our companionship. Another reason why cats follow you to the bathroom is because bathrooms are a playroom and source of enrichment for cats.
Cats also follow you to the bathroom because they want to know what you are doing. Cats are very nosy creatures.
Why do cats always show their bums to you?
A cat’s butt contains glands that are rich with scent information.
Cats who are friendly with each other will often turn to present their back end for a sniff. So when your cat raises its tail, they are inviting you to check them out, or simply giving you a friendly Hello.
Another reason why cats show their bums is to solicit attention.
Of course, the presentation of their bum is also a sign of trust. When your cat turns around, they are putting themselves in a vulnerable position.
Why cats eat your houseplants
Many cats enjoy eating grass and there are several theories as to why they like eating it. Your cat may graze on grass to help with an upset stomach or boost its vitamin levels. Another theory is that grass acts as a natural laxative, counteracting any cases of indigestion. It helps break down hairballs and pass hair out the other end.
Why cats rub against your legs?
Cats have scent glands on their cheeks, chin, paws, top of their head, and base of their tail. These scent glands contain pheromones. When cats rub their face or tail against something or someone, they are leaving behind their pheromones. When a cat rubs against you or walks between your legs, they are actually marking you with their scent. This is so that they can communicate to others that you belong to their social group and you are theirs. This is a type of territorial behavior that indicates affection and a bonded relationship.
Why don't cats like their paws to be touched
Cats dislike having their paws touched because they’re full of nerve endings, making them very sensitive.
In some cases, a cat may not want you to touch their paws because of past trauma. Like if they have had a bad nail trimming experience or if you have squeezed their paw a little too hard while petting them.

My boy cat will lay under my blanket, head on my pillow, arm around my neck with his face pressed on mine. I never imagined a cat could cuddle like a human. He does it either until we both fall asleep or he will give me a good 20 minute loving then go lay on the bed near me. He's almost 7 and he's been doing this since he was a year old. He even cuddles my boyfriend during sleepovers. People are amazed and how affectionate and loving he is .

When we adopted a shelter cat we were told she had already been returned once because the new owner was "allergic" to her, which seemed like a cliched excuse. Then one day I casually rolled up a newspaper after reading it. The cat panicked and hid under a chair. I connected the dots, felt terrible, and now never roll up a newspaper or magazine whether she is in the room or not.

I was staying with some acquaintances for a year while I got back on my feet, they had three cats. The black female Tara took to me right away and quite enjoyed being around me. The oldest, Georgie, was indifferent. He never sought me out but never ran away and would let me pet him. Then there was Bart. Bart was terrified of me when I first arrived. If I so much as looked at him he'd scramble off as if I'd just thrown rocks at him. I never approached him, never tried to pet him, and I always spoke to him the same as i did all other cats. Finally after a few months he seemed to accept my presence. I recall one night i was fixing my dinner when he walked into the kitchen and hopped in a chair. I greeted him "Hi Bart" and let him be. He just sat there watching me. I then took my dinner back to my room, only telling him "Goodnight" and making no attempt to pet him. A couple of days later he was approaching me and rubbing against my legs and even let me pet him. After that i couldn't get away from him! He'd follow me into the bathroom, open the door to get inside, then either sit in my pants or sit in the bathtub and wait for me. Once he adjusted to me I just couldn't get away from him.

I'm pretty sure the bathroom visit is because the cat is protecting you while you're vulnerable, most animals are vulnerable mid-dump and can't react in a situation while dropping a deuce. That's why dogs also look at you when they're pooping, they're like: You got my back right?

When Squeaky hears the toilet seat go down he sprints into the toilet as he knows I am sitting down and cannot escape him and must pat him.That's how smart they are!
When my young male (abandoned as a kitten and I took him to live with me) lies next to my computer while I am on it, he will often reach out and just place his paw on my arm. In turn he doesn't mind it one bit if I gently stroke and touch his paws. When my young female (abandoned as a kitten and I took her to live with me a month later) she will curl up in my lap and lets me treat her paws the same way. But I make sure not to overdo it. Just a few strokes and touches to let them know I love them. The heart warming thing they both do is often times just get in front of me and stare deeply into my eyes as if trying so hard to read my thoughts. No amount of money could take them from me. Pure, blissful love each way between us.

Weirdest thing a cat I've owned loved: Pancakes. Current cat loves Italian tomato sauce.
I had this one cat that I gave his back paws a massage. He started to pull away and then he relaxed the paw. This cat was my best friend for the longest time and I had very special bond with him.
About 14 years ago Rosie came to our door and said....Hi, I'm Rosie....where do I sleep and what's for tea...she has been here ever since. She has never bitten us..loves her belly and paws being played with/massaged and when my hands start to tremor (Parkinson's disease) she comes and strokes then with her paw failing that then she will sit on them..... The question is she, for the past year has started Yowling VERY LOUD and won't stop for some time . I have listened to what you have said about this and in this case she must do it for some other reason...we think it may have something to do with her becoming stone deaf this past six months. Could you or others shed any light on this behavior please.....Mick

Yes, probably losing, or lost, hearing. As one of my cats aged, the yowls became louder. Vet said it's not unusual with a very senior cat.

I'm so glad Rosie found you! You sound like an amazing Cat Dad!! Oh it's normal for a deaf cat to meow loudly after losing their hearing,she no longer has "volume control" she simply doesn't know how loud she is! I hope you and sweet Rosie are doing well and I hope I helped you a little.

@@mistiewaters2185 She like most cats is a real character she is only small and therefore people seem to think she is still a young cat we don't realy know how old she is but I would guess around 14/15 ....she is doing well otherwise and loves to help/hinder me when I put on footwear...the best is when she needs her nails clipping she just holds out her paws and lets you do it, most cats you would end up in a fight to get them cut.

My cat will let me hold his paws. He also rubs against me all the time and follows me to the bathroom. I guess he loves me lol
My cat is such a mama's boy. He sleeps next to me every night, likes to use me as a pillow when we sleep, likes to hold onto my shoulder, and is a shoulder kitty. He also doesn't complain why I trim his nails, and he knows he'll get a "good boy" and lots of attention afterward if he sits still. He's put up with me taking him to the, which terrifies him, but he's never once hissed ir scratched at the doctors there. And he got a shot for whatever was needed with no problems. I love him dearly
When my son goes on an errand, my dam literally meowscreams "Don't leave! Come back!" Just for a minute, as I naturally comfort her. Cats and dogs can tell time if the errand is a daily ritual. I watch them go to the window when he's due back.
when my cat meows, its her telling me to clean her litter box or else she's gonna crap on the carpet. i try to tell her i just cleaned it a couple hours ago, but she's kind of a total diva.

They can be bossy especially the females.
I remember when I was still in high school in the late 80s we had a kitty cat named Boo boo. And she was a female outdoor cat and I remember we were having a family game of Monopoly and I guess she felt ignored so she jumped up on the table right in the middle of the board to get our attention. Maybe she wanted to join the game. Haha. Now we have two boy indoor cats and they were just neutered. They seem a lot calmer now but still play a lot and I'm wondering about maybe leash and harness training them for outdoor walks. They would be outdoor cats but we are close to a highway and there's a lot of wildlife in this neighborhood. Some cats have been killed by coyote attacks.
I always call zoomies after pooping 'air drying.' LOL What I don't like about the reaching out with the paws is the claws getting very near my eyeballs and everything getting snagged.
It's so funny how cats are so nosy when you bring something home or if you open a drawer or closet 🤣🤣
"Why cat not sleep at night?" My cats sleep all day n night 😆
I have another cat that makes a distressful yowling noise as he walks through the house dragging his toy snake with his mouth. It's pretty funny. He brings it to me when he wants to play.
Great info & very accurate. My cat allows me to hold his paw and gently squeeze it. He then squeezes back intermittently. It's adorable 🥰
Thanks for sharing these valuable insights
I had a cat that used to love Paws massages between the toes and all around the main pad.
Ill never pee alone again 👀👀👀👀
I couldn't live without the support of a good bathroom cat. We go in as a team and complete the mission.
Great info, thank you! Looking forward to your next video ❤😸
I have two Bengal cats, 2 years old. One gets hungry at about 3 am and starts batting me on the head, at getting under the covers to attack my feet. I usually have to get up anyway at that time to go to the bathroom, but getting your toes nipped on is startling. I am moving their feeding schedule so they get fed at 10 or 11 pm, so they don't get hungry again until 6 am or so. Aside from that, they are wonderful and do all the things in this video to show they are bonded to me.

Cat's can regulate their food intake very well so if you always leave some dry food available they won't get hungry. Probably will take some time if they are used to getting only fresh or wet cat food though

What are you doing? Starving your cat? 😂. My cats bowl stays full. He gets wet food in the morning for breakfast. But the rest of the day he just eats his dry food. Which we just keep topped off. So it’s never an issue.
My cats both like to have their feet gently stroked from time to time, although they usually put the pads in my palm and I stroke the tops of their paws. When my girl is sleeping on my bed she always stretches out towards me when I go in there and if I don't stop to pet her she will snag her claws in my clothes so I have to stop and give her cuddles. Wonderful, sweet, beautiful, amazing complex, creatures.
Awww !! This is a great video (& your voice is cool) I’ve always had at Least one Kitty in my life but I never knew why he follows me to the bathroom! Thanks! 😂🐾
I subed cuz u have good information in cats
After years loving many kitties the one I have is totally quite unusual. Never had one that digs his water bowl completely dry then screams for more. He bats his treats and stuff on the bathroom counter into the sink. My other kitty is normal.
My cat Sam has figured out how to open the door. Our handles are long and he just jumps up and hangs on them till he opens it up. I put this video on the Internet and people loved it. The problem is he won’t shut the door he comes in and out all day long. He thinks it’s a game.😮
I was adopted by a feral cat. He would greet me when I got home from work, let me pet him for a short time, didn't let me pick him up but would jump into my car and ont my lap when I opened the door, and once he left a dead rat beside the door to my car. So I guess I belonged to him. FYI... I didn't feed him so I know he didn't belong to me.
My cat adores a good paw rubbing. He will splay his toes apart and roll over
I just thought Izzy knew I was the perfect height to bend down and pet him while on the toilet. He doesn't follow me in for a pee or a shower but if he hears me sit down he comes running. He doesn't seem to mind if I squeeze his paws and play with his tail. Though on his last clipping he hid under the bed for hours. I made the mistake of not following the vet in for the procedure. i think he felt betrayed and abandoned. He's never been that opposed to having his claws clipped. This was wildly helpful in better understanding him. Thanks.
Thank you for all this valuable information it was very interesting. Newcat owner here🐯
My wake up call @ 5am EVERY morning is my cat reaching out a paw and gently touching my face - it is just so cute !
I’ve had many cats throughout the years. I can’t remember the Last time I was able to go to the bathroom alone with the door shut. It gets hard when someone comes over to use the bathroom they shut the door and my cats will push it open but I warn everyone that door gets shut they’re going to scratch it to death I have a nice wooden bathroom door that’s all scratched up 😂
Another reason for the post-poop runaround is to knock anything off which may have stuck to their fur.

Yup. After I figured this out and after finding stray kitty turd endings around I started trimming my cats rear end fur. No more problems.
Too many people who wind up with a cat expect them to behave like dogs. That leads to problems real fast. Cats CAN be trained, you just have to be creative and patient. Like any pet, if you treat your cat badly, it will react or defend itself. A really ticked off cat is NOT FUN AT ALL. I'd rather face an angry Rottweiler than my 20 pound Maine Coon.
thank you Jaw-Dropping Facts 😊
So interesting! Thanks ❤
"Cats dislike having their paws touched because they’re full of nerve endings, making them very sensitive." ---> My observation is that if your cat really trusts you it is no problem to have their paws touched.
I love cats they r the best & super smart
Both of my cats must accompany me to the bathroom each time 😂
😂 that’s my Rey “watcha doing, mama?”
My younger cat follows me to the bathroom. He loves to ask me to pet him while i try to go.
I had three dogs and a cat follow me to the bathroom it’s so funny and crowded 😂
Video is so cute!😸
Cats follow us to the bathroom-and every other room-because Cats natural curiosity gives them the world's biggest case of FOMO!
My cat thinks his butt is his best feature and never turns down an opportunity to show it off.
We have two cats. One is a fixed female. Other is a male that isn't fixed. The male has peed twice in seperate rooms. Gotta get him fixed soon

My cat will follow me into the bathroom and just sit there. My cat also comes into my room, sits there, and stares up at me. Also my cat will sometimes go on my bed and lay down either on my feet or by my face.
Somehow, I got into the habit of holding one of my cat's front paws when he sleeps in my lap. Now he insists on it. He must feel pretty secure with me.

One time I had a cat that liked to pick her toy mice up in her mouth by their tails and throw them. Depending on the size of the mouse she could get some pretty good distance/hangtime. Needless to say she got very good at flinging mice directly into my lap.
Meow means " come here, I want to ignore you " Haha
This video pretty much explains my whole home-life :-)
My little cat always raise her paw and tap me. She’s always up under me, jumping on my lap, snuggle up to me when I sit and meows like crazy for me lol I love her. My bigger cat, will follow me all over the house when she wants food. Lol she has no patience.
