Cats that are free-ranging or can go out every day through a cat hole all have one dream.

To become a cat king.

Of course, there are three prerequisites.

A male cat in his prime

Not neutered and in normal health

You have to be prepared for the day when he suddenly never comes back

How do you know that your cat is on the "Iron Throne of Cats"?

You need to know two facts first.

1. The competition for the throne of male cats is cruel. The cat that does not become the king is in pain for life. The cat that becomes the king will one day be defeated, fall and die, or go far away.

2. It is difficult for people to interfere with the cat's affairs. The only thing you can help it with is providing quality food to make it stronger can become a cat king.

If you find some details, then it means that your cat may become the regional cat king.

One of the most obvious details is that the cat king will sit at the highest place. When a group of cats is playing and resting together, it will sit at the highest place, which is the most typical sign of a cat king. If there is no highest place, then it may be the sunniest and most comfortable place.

When you go out, other stray cats will look at you from afar and then quickly leave. This is due to being shocked by the smell of cats on you.

The dogs you encounter will be more agitated with you, and even some larger dogs try to provoke you. There will also be some dogs that run when they see you and show fear towards you.

When you meet your cat outside, he is calm and collected, and your cat is happy to take you on a tour. Many cats are willing to take their owners on a tour of their territory. This is a strange behavior unique to domestic cats. Not only humans, but domestic cats also like to bring other animals into the house to play in their territory.

More "prey" starts to appear in your house or at your door. For example, some small birds or rodents. This may not necessarily be caught by your cat but may be brought to you by another cat. Don't laugh, cats know how to offer food to the strongest cats.

Is there a cat king? Cats with independent personalities have their social system

Cats are not animals that live alone, as many people imagine.

Domestic cats, as well as stray cats that are partially dependent on human society for survival, have their own social system. Unlike a dog's pack leader, the cat's king does not direct the cat's actions, but the cat king has additional authority and responsibility.

The cat king has priority breeding rights, which is a benefit of the cat king throne that every male cat values more.

The Cat King can hunt the best quality prey in the territory, and in some cases where the number of rats is low, only the most powerful cats are allowed to hunt.

The Cat King has to help cats compete with other animals for survival territory. The key here is the scramble for the garbage area. If you look closely, some of the city's garbage colonies are occupied by stray dogs, while some are occupied by cats. The cat will let the most capable one the cat king, become the cat group in a powerful warfare.

The cat king has to coordinate the conflicts between the cats. But the cat king will not get involved as deeply as the head dog. It's more about stopping some of the fights between cats.

Your cat is bound to leave you if it becomes the Cat King

This is something that can't be helped, the cat king in aging defeated, is necessary to leave the homeland.

If this old gone cat king does not leave, the new cat king will try to bite it to death.

And the old cat king, will not return to the owner's home, male cats have strong self-esteem, especially when the cat king of the male cats.

Even if you seal the cat hole and let the cat stay at home for the rest of its life, it may still die of depression.

If you raise a cat that can go out at any time and already has dreams of becoming a cat king, then all you can do is provide more food to it.

There is a kind of love for cats that is called respect. Probably silently supporting your male cat to win the cat throne it craves is the only thing you can do as a pooper scooper.
