Many cat lovers know that little cats can have their secrets and behaviors that we do not fully understand.

We know when they are pampered and want to play, we know when they need us, but the secrets of cats continue to confuse even the best breeders.

Why do they throw things down from the floor

Most cats sneak very carefully onto your bookshelves, past the small, fragile objects on the tables and library.

But sometimes they like to walk them because they learn very quickly that their masters react immediately.

It is a game for them and they like to challenge their masters. If you scream, so much the better. They hide and do the same next time. It would be advisable not to leave fragile objects in their hands or to pretend that you do not pay attention to them and then they will get bored of this game.

It seems that this is one of the secrets of cats that helps you to educate them more easily.

Why does your cat bite you out of the blue?

Never insist on stroking or playing with a cat unless it feels like it. The first sign that he doesn't like to touch or bother her is the nervous shaking of his tail. 

Dilated pupils and shaking of the ears are also signs that you are bothering her and that you need to stop.

Cats do not particularly like to be touched or stroked on the belly or back, as these are vulnerable areas. Only if she has great confidence in you and only when she wants to be caressed will she agree to be stroked on her stomach.

Otherwise, they like to be stroked on the head, but if you insist on places that do not suit them, they will bite you suddenly. This is a clear sign that you need to leave her alone, even if it is a gentle cat that is attached to you.

Why does your cat blink and look at you for a long time?

You've noticed that it often happens that your cat looks at you for a long time and then blinks slowly, closing your eyes for several seconds.

When she is calm and doing this next to you, it does not mean that she wants something, but that she is simply happy to be with her. He tells you that he feels safe, that he feels good about you, and that he has feelings of attachment to you.

Why do they like boxes so much

No toy, no matter how colorful, rattling, or sophisticated is as attractive as a simple cardboard box in which you had shoes or a food processor.

The boxes are irresistible and cats like to hide in them, just as they like to hide in closets on the sly, in the closet, or other corners of the house.

It is a natural gesture to reduce the stress I feel at the moment, but it is also an instinctive gesture to take cover for any eventuality. Do you want to have a happy cat, especially when you leave home for a long time? Leave him a few cardboard boxes in the apartment and he'll be working for a few hours.

Why doesn't the cat meow anymore

You may have already noticed that as you get older, your playful kitten becomes quieter and meows less and less.

Adult cats meow only for humans to warn them that something is wrong or that they have not received food.

If your cat meows less and less, this is due to age and the fact that she is used to you, your routine, and can communicate with you through other gestures.

Some cats do not make a sound for a few days in a row, and others meow too often begging attention at every step. And this is very much related to the relationship they have with their masters!
