このコンテンツについて
According to The Drake Center for Veterinary Care, one strange but common cat behavior is chattering, especially when watching birds through a window. Behaviorists believe this could be a mix of excitement and frustration, or even the result of your cat’s instincts preparing their jaw muscles for a potential catch. Another intriguing behavior is bunting, where your cat rubs their head on you. This act releases pheromones and marks you as their territory, showing pride of ownership rather than just affection.
Many listeners have probably woken up to find their cat has left a “gift” such as a hunted mouse or bird. This may seem unpleasant, but experts say it’s their way of sharing their success and acknowledging you as part of their social group. If this habit isn’t for you, the Drake Center suggests attaching a bell to your cat’s collar to make hunting more challenging.
PetMD explains that cats are masters of non-verbal communication, using body language, scent marking, and visual cues to interact with other cats and humans. A tail held upright signals confidence and curiosity, while a low or tucked tail indicates fear. Flattened ears show aggression or fear, while forward, upright ears mean a cat is relaxed and alert. Slow blinking is a sign of trust, sometimes called a “cat kiss,” and you can return the gesture by slowly blinking back.
Behavior isn’t just about communication. Kneading, a motion resembling a baker working dough, may be a leftover instinct from kittenhood or a way to show contentment. Some experts, as noted by Pets Best Insurance, think it might even be a subtle way to mark their territory since cats have scent glands in their paws.
Cats are also known for their playful curiosity—knocking objects off shelves isn’t just mischief; it’s their way of exploring, playing, and sometimes, getting your attention. Outdoor cats may hunt real prey, while indoor cats practice their hunting skills with toys, blending play and instinct.
Cats evolved as both predators and prey, so their body language is shaped by a need to quickly communicate safety, fear, or dominance. The team at Tuft + Paw highlights that a tightly curled cat is protecting itself or conserving warmth, while an exposed belly usually means the cat feels safe, though it’s not always an invitation for a rub.
