29 Cat Cute Behavior?

Jump and Sprint

It is very weird to see a cat sprinting or jumping. You may have noticed your cat running up to the edge of the height of a high surface only to jump off.





Well, it is very natural for them as in the wild, they jump from trees to trees all the time. You don’t need to worry about your cat sprinting and jumping throughout the day.

Kneading

Mostly, cats learn this kind of thing when they are young. Actually kneading helps them to stimulate milk production in their mother cat breast. But, when your cat gets old, they do that only to feel comfortable around you and other people.

Low meow

We often think that our cat is in some kind of pain or she is ill – when we hear them meow low. But what does that exactly mean? Actually, a cat meows very low when they feel uncomfortable irritated, or threatened.





If you hear that kind of meow from your cat then make sure you give your cat extra attention.

Twitching ears

It is very rare to see them doing that because when a cat twitches their ears, it gives the notion that he or she is feeling anxious. At that moment, you should give your cat some space until they come around.

Uncovered poop

It is very natural to clean and to groom themself after pooing. Most of the time, it has been observed that when they leave their poop uncovered, it does for a reason.





After the study, we learn that they leave their poop uncovered to express anger with their owner. If you find your cat uncovered poo then there is definitely something that you need to resolve with your cat.

Cat does lots of expressing behaviors when it comes to express their dissatisfaction with the situation or with their owner. If you find your cat chattering then the possible reason can be the feeling of frustration.

Don’t be so worried about it because after he/she is done with jumping on and off the furniture/exercising, she/he will be ready to rest again.
