Feline Behavior

Feline behavior encompasses the instinctual and learned actions of cats. Key behaviors include grooming, marking territory with scent, hunting play, and social interactions. Cats often exhibit curiosity and may explore their surroundings, while their body language—like tail position and ear orientation—communicates mood and intent. They also alternate between being solitary and social, depending on their environment and individual personality. Understanding these behaviors helps caregivers provide better care, ensuring a fulfilling life for their feline companions and fostering a harmonious relationship between cats and humans.
