The inner world of cats is rich. Maybe, you don't know it yet. Through the following descriptions, you will be able to know more about your cat.

Cats are restrained, graceful, conceited, and true to their senses. Never compare it to other animals, it is very unique and every cat is special. It has a strong sense of independence, but is very affectionate to its owner. It doesn't get angry easily, unless it's really annoying, or it hurts. It can be your friend, but it may not be yours. It does not have a large social circle, is class conscious, and is not as obedient to power and leaders as a dog.

Cats are highly independent animals. Cats that appear capricious at will and never consider themselves to be their master's retainers. Some people think that compared with dogs, cats are a bit headstrong and go their own way. Most people who think like this don't know much about the habits of cats. Originally, cats are animals that like to act alone, unlike dogs, they obey the master's orders and act collectively. Therefore, it does not regard the master as a monarch, but is a slave for life. Sometimes, whatever you call it, it doesn't even hear it. The cat and the owner are not in a master-slave relationship. It is better to think of them as equal friends. It is this relationship that makes it so attractive.

Cats like to live alone and freely. Except for mating in heat, they rarely roost together in groups of three or five. With their wandering qualities, the domestic cat still maintains this solitary character to a large extent. Unlike other domestic animals, it is difficult for cats to adapt to the original wild living environment once they leave people, and they need to rely too much on people to survive. Once the cat runs into the wild, it is easy to mate with the wild cat and become a wild cat again, quickly adapting to the living environment of the outside world and going wild.

It's cool, but not cruel. It catches mice, birds, cockroaches, balls, and anything that moves, because it is originally a hunter, and its motives are as simple as a child drooling at the sight of ice cream in summer, a woman passing a jewelry store and seeing a diamond ring, her eyes immediately Shine like. Although cats look "cool", they are actually very coquettish. Cats sometimes regard their owners as their parents, and like to act coquettishly like children. When they feel lonely, they will climb onto the owner's knees, or "tom" and jump on the spread out newspaper and sit down, showing a coquettish attitude. Many people have no way to take it.

Cats are the most hygienic and clean. They wash their faces with their paws every day, comb their fur with their tongues, defecate in a fixed place every time, and cover their feces with soil after they defecate. These are a big reason why people are willing to feed cats. In fact, the "grooming and grooming" of cats is completely a physiological need. Kittens love to lick their bodies and clean themselves most of the time. After eating, it will wipe its beard with its front paws, lick its anus with its tongue after urinating, and lick its hair after being hugged. This is the kitten removing the odor and dirt from the body. A cat's tongue has many rough little bumps, and it's the best tool for getting rid of dirt. Cat licking also stimulates the secretion of sebaceous glands, making the hair shiny and smooth, and not easily wetted by water. You can also lick a small amount of vitamin D for normal bone development. After strenuous exercise, a lot of heat is generated in the body. Since the sweat glands of cats are underdeveloped, it can smear saliva on the coat, and use the evaporation of saliva to take away the heat and play a role in cooling. Regular grooming during depilation promotes new hair growth. by grabbing. bite. Can prevent such as fleas. Infectious parasitic diseases such as lice, maintain good health.

Cats often lick their bodies to relax. If you look closely at kittens, you'll see that kittens lick their bodies when they're fine. That said, kittens love the action. Licking your body is also a relaxation exercise. Kittens often don't fall asleep until they are thoroughly licked. It should be noted that kittens feel nervous and will lick their bodies very hard when they are stressed. If they lick too hard, they will lose their hair and become bald. This time to see if there are any difficulties in the kitten's life.

The behavior of cats to cover up feces is completely out of the instinct of life. In order to prevent natural enemies from discovering and tracking themselves from the smell of feces, the ancestors covered up the feces. (Image credit: pConline Photography Tribe)
