They’re cute, they’re lovable, and judging by the 26 billion views on over 2 million KZread videos of them, one thing is certain: cats are very entertaining. But their strange feline behaviors, both amusing and baffling, leave many of us asking: Why do cats do that? Tony Buffington explains the science behind some of your cat’s strangest behaviors.

    My Pepper never tries to sleep fur-to-skin with me-- unless he knows I'm stressed out. He seems to be able to tell this. And it does make me feel better. I have other cats that see me as more like their wait staff, but Pepper almost certainly equates me with some kind of parental figure.

    There was actually a study that found cats do actually love us. The study found cats won't explore an unfamiliar environment without their "parent" within eyesight. It's often interpreted as a cat needing the security of knowing their "parent" is nearby to comfort and protect them.

    So true ig. I just moved to my brother who has cats and whilst there is no unfamiliar environment here, whenever there was a weird sound they looked in that direction and then looked at me. And only when I stood up and went to go see what it was the cat would follow me. I don't think that was because of the "yeah you have to die for me" thing that many people would say it was. I think it was because he wanted me with him to be safe and sound.

    Anybody with a nervous cat that is bonded to them knows this- my shy cat will only explore certain parts of the house that she doesn’t consider her territory when I’m there by her side to encourage her. If I leave her tail goes down and she slinks close to the floor- when I’m with her she raises her tail and explores more confidently but keeps looking back to me for reassurance that I’m still there. Cool that they could prove it in a study

    @@ESwift-Arts so here's why it needs to be confirmed. I have 3 cats. Two of them won't move around the house if I'm not there. One seems not to care if I'm there or not unless a stranger comes into the house; then he goes up to my room and hides under my bed. That is interesting because it shows that cats and humans act similarly and have similar dispositions. It's not just us projecting human emotions on them, and it shows that things like love and attachment are basic to social social animals.

    I had 2 barn cats. Every morning I'd go to clean the horse stalls they'd have a dead mouse to show me. Almost as if they wanted me to be proud of them or something. I ended up moving to a house with no barn and took both the cats with me. Their transition going from murderous barn cats to being domesticated was fast, and they both turned into the best cats I've ever met.

    Actually them bringing you the prize of their hunt is a token of love. It's a gift from them. :) On the night of my 16th birthday at exactly midnight, my cat brought me a live bird. I always loved birds but wouldn't want to keep one in a cage...I'd usually just look at them from afar in the garden. After careful examination it appeared the bird wasn't hurt at all by my cat. So I had the opportunity to just take it into my hands, look at it from upclose, somewhat pet it too, for just a few minutes. Then my cat and I both went upstairs to the biggest window of the house, and I freed the bird. We watched it fly away together in the night sky and went to bed afterwards. I was afraid he'd be upset I had freed his gift, he had proved quite upset at me getting rid of the occasional dead rodent offering, but not this time. Even a few years later it remains one of the best and most special birthday gifts I ever had. 🧡

When he recovered, his doctor told him that it was surprisingly fast. The guy was intrigued and after some research discovered that the cat’s purring frequency is, as the video said, perfect for tissue regeneration. His cat *knew* that and dedicated his time in healing his human. I find that pretty cool.

    I lost a baby about 3 years ago and it was a very hard time because I was on bed rest and basically waiting for the baby to pass away in utero. I was crying on my bed when my cat Caroline came and jumped onto the bed with me. She starting nuzzling my face and purring. She was trying to comfort me and she was successful because it really helped me. She actually did that a number of times with me, whenever she was in my room and I happened to be crying, she would always do that. And I always knew she was trying to comfort me. I truly believe God sent her to be a blessing to our family.

He would always show this type of behaviour only when I would cry

    My cat only messes with stuff when she sees a human doing it. Ie, Christmas: I put ornaments on the tree, she immediately wants to bat at the ornaments, too (yet typically doesn’t actually knock them off or break them, and generally calms back down once the Decorating Frenzy is done...until it’s time to take things down, anyway) Similar scenario with puzzles and legos, or if I’m drawing or writing or reading, or if I’m playing an instrument. (She thinks my singing is a cry of distress, though. Which, RUDE. I sing fine, kitty!) So...yeah. It’s literally mimickry. All my cats have also learned to be just shy of opening doors (paws are the wrong shape. But they’re still dangerous if the door isn’t latched Just So, or if the handle’s a lever vs knob), and I swear my Mimic Cat also has her own language of meows and chatters full-on sentences, and tries mimicking English with a cry that sounds suspiciously like “Ma!” ...it’s both endearing and somewhat frightening how clever they actually are (and how much language they actually understand aside from tone and context/intent.) I’ve also noticed distinct behavioral changes when I got my family to stop calling her a “brat” unless she was actually in trouble-less submissive behavior and general mischief. Although I swear she spent about half a week “testing it out” like a kid pushing boundaries

    Cats don’t scratch furniture to “sharpen their claws”. They have scent glands between their toes, so they actually scratch to mark their territory & communicate with other animals. Territorial boundaries & owning items makes them feel secure. Other than that, great & accurate info in this video!

The vid can be summed in one sentence: "They act strange 'cause EVOLUTION" ... I mean... WOW, the insight! I hoped to learn how specific behaviors were used advantageously, when they were still living in the wild, so, to me personally, it was kind of a let down tbh. Nothing wrong with the video per se, just didn't meet my expectations.

    Here are some things you can do to accommodate their "weird" behaviours: 1:06 Provide hiding spaces and spaces to climb. Make sure to always put your food away! *If your cat likes to knock your stuff over a lot, it most likely means they're bored. Siphon off some of their energy by playing with them more! 1:25 Don't leave your food out lol 1:32 Give your cats lots of entertainment (windows to watch birds and wildlife from, places to climb, like *cat trees* , and toys and playtime). If your cat likes high vantage points I'd highly recommend a cat tree next to the window so they can watch birds and other wildlife (their "prey") outside. You can also put a bird feeder outside to attract more birds. 1:55 Playtime before feeding, and scatter meals (2/3/4) over the course of the day. Keep in mind cats sleep 1-2 hours after they're fed at night and you should not feed them more than 12 hours apart. 2:39 Get a scratching post! This is very important. Cats scratch to mark their territory, so if your cat is really shy or overly aggressive (signifying they don't feel confident in their ownership of their territory-- your house) a scratching post(s) can make them feel at home and more confident. And if your cat is scratching your stuff more than others'-- congrats! They like you. Another way to make a cat feel at home is litter boxes and things they can get their scent on (such as blankets). 4:20 Playtime and toys! If they're chewing on your stuff, it means they're bored. Remember positive reinforcement! Basically, reward your cat when they're not doing bad stuff. Yelling and spray bottles doesn't really help-- they can't understand what you're saying and will only be scared of you (possibly leading to other unwanted behaviours).

    She is trying to help. Contrary to popular believe, cats are very loyal. Just in their own way. One day, in the middle of a storm, when I had a blackout in my house and I was alone with my old cat (I was still a kid), she made sure to be always next to me, like she was trying to reasure me, a bit like saying "It's okay, nothing is going to happen". Funny thing is, I don't really mind storms, so it wasn't like I needed it, I was more bored than anything else, really. But I appreciated the gesture for what it was, she caring for me just like I cared for her. I miss the old girl.

    A clowder or a glaring actually, though you can go with clan if you want. More apartment community then organized social structure. But yeah, cats hunt solo and sometimes run entirely solo, they also form loose communities so the can have more pairs of eyes and ears keep an eye out for predators/rival species. And for mama cats, the ability to get a kitten sitter so they can stretch their legs and get a nice hunt in. The more socially inclined cats do share food with those they like, which is why pet cats on occasion bring back dead things for their humans. They see humans as group members, no clear data yet if they believe us just deaf near bald cats or know us as a different species though.

    My cat Marian recently began alerting me to my anxiety and panic attacks before they happen. She’s my Emotional Support Animal, and I’ve barely had her for a year (she’s about 21 months old), but I never could have imagined that she would teach herself to “task” like a service dog is taught to do. When she senses it, she herds me toward my bed, and lays on my chest and purrs once I lie down. I then start having very recognizable symptoms, and eventually have the attack. Once it’s over, she hops off my chest and walks away like it never happened. She’s done it at least three times within the past six months. It’s really amazing how she’s so insistent about it, too. She knows what I need before I do, and is really good at taking care of me during my episodes. She’ll lick my forehead sometimes, too, and always curls up next to me in bed at night. I really love that cat 🐈

    Fun fact: If a cat licks you it's either that you taste nice (be ready for them biting you) or because they see you as a part of their family. And is therefore "grooming" you, just as it would do with another cat. This is also why cats like to "eat" hair.
