Cat Behavior

Cause he likes it.

All cats are different. Some cats, such as the Tonkinese, are quiet, and only meow when something is seriously wrong. The Siamese just happens to be one of those cats that just talks for the sake of it.

It probably means "GET UP Mommy/Daddy!! I'm Hungry and want some breakfast! You can't expect ME to use the can opener!"

Just like how children wake up there parents in the morning by jumping on them.

Greasers were tough guys. It's just a rework of the common wisdom that Boys Don't Cry. Tough guys don't cry in front of strangers -- and some of them never express that release, even in the comfort of silence.

I hate to say it, but probably not. That behavior is very ingrained into cats. That is the type of thing they have been bred to do for centuries. We have gerbils and after two years of daily battles with spray bottles, newspapers, and the like our cat still jumps on top of their house every couple of hours. The gerbils are in a big 30 gallon tank with a secure lid. They don't even notice the cat anymore. It seems to be a lost cause.

Firstly, you have to talk about it and how you feel and devise a plan between you both to make it better. It won't change unless you are BOTH committed and WANT it to change. Communication is the key to all good relationships. if you cannot talk openly - there is no hope. TALK.

Yes, they both hiss.

Hubel and Wiesel were partners for over 20 years and experimented a lot with sensory processing. The key finding in their study of kittens' vision was that if you deprive a kitten from using one eye, the other eye essentially went into overdrive to compensate.

Feed it more filling cat food in the evening so it won't be that hungry in the morning. Or you could feed it another type of food because it might be bored of the same old food and might want a bit of variety.

A three year old tests boundaries and is constantly learning social rules. If he hits, he may be expressing himself the way he knows how or testing what's allowable. Show him hitting others is not acceptable; one good method is leaving him alone when he hits, showing him that others don't want to share the company of one who hurts others. Social alienation is a powerful tool. Once he learns he gains more attention by not hitting, he'll stop. What's it like to be THREE? This stage of a child's life is highly developmental. What the child exhibits is mainly a mix of observed behaviors and manifestations of personal feelings. Those things perceived by the child as beneficial for resolution to the conflicts they face are employed as coping mechanisms for dealing with daily life. If the child is exposed to a venue in which combat is portrayed as something other than detrimental and painful, that will be a basis for the forming of that child's behaviors. The discernment between what is seen by an adult as spoof and that which is known to be real-life has not fully developed in a child of this age. This serves to foster a testing environment for the child's reasoning abilities, making for mixes of behaviors which, sometimes, are funny; and, at other times, are highly embarrassing--- if not totally outrageous. If the child receives a laugh as a consequence of the exhibition of a certain behavior in one situation, the child does not understand why the same laugh is not provided in another circumstance which may not be conducive to laughter. If the child has few outlets in which frustrations may vent appropriately, these frustrations will be exhibited in ways that are unpredictable; and, the most-heard words in a child's world are 'don't', 'no', 'stop', 'quit', 'sit down', 'behave', 'leave that alone', 'be quiet', 'I said so'... That's a lot of negativity and little direction. If an adult is put under similar constraints which rob them of personal power and identity, they become sociopathic. When a child endures such a life, it is seen as normal--- and largely ignored. Added to that is the lack of inhibition normally understood by adults to be a proper attribute, and which lack is part of which contributes to the exuberance of a child, and the situation becomes clearer. The key to handling difficulties which arise is INVOLVEMENT. You must, as a parent or guardian or caregiver, be part of the world in which the child lives. You are perceived as being a 'BIG' person: You're older, you're taller, you're stronger, you get to do things without asking anyone else, you can come and go as you please, and you KNOW stuff... To a kid, you are what they hope to be like in some way; and, to them, this spells FREEDOM. If what you expose to this child is not of benefit to their positive development, then the child will develop with that which is provided. It's a situation of 'garbage-in, garbage-out'; and, everyone in the little one's world is a contributor. That means every TV commercial, every video game, every movie, every cartoon, every laugh, every argument, every violent or loud outburst, every kiss, every hug, every touch of loneliness--- all are taken to heart by the child, being formed into that which will make them the individual seen by the world tomorrow. When an adult follows a system of discipline which is consistent and fair, employing both a pat on the back as well as a proverbial boot on the butt when called for, and does not demean the child in the process, the child learns what is expected of them. This provides them with a basis with which to govern their actions without reducing their self-image to subhuman realms. Where yelling and screaming are employed, they constitute abuse. Make no mistake: There is justification in raising one's voice for the purpose of being heard over ambient background noise; but--- there is absolutely NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER FOR ANY ADULT TO LOOK DOWN INTO THE EYES OF A TODDLER AND SCREAM IN FURY... Sadly, this happens far too often. If the adult was small, standing in little shoes, in small wet pants and diaper, without anyone to protect them, not understanding why they were receiving this treatment from someone they loved with all their heart, the situation would be clear to them. If that adult took the time to play, to crawl, to talk to the child, and to explore the world with the child, then the ability to reason out the problems and solutions would be less difficult; and, every kid needs someone to treat them like they're fun to be with. It's when the fun disappears, and nobody's there to help pass the time or carry them through the rough spots that self-devised coping mechanisms will come into play. If the behavior is rewarded with results that are perceived by the child as beneficial, and the routine is repeated enough to form into a behavior pattern without alternatives being provided, or accountability imposed, there's a problem; and, the problem didn't begin with the child in most cases--- it began with the method employed. If such is the case, the behavior needs to be interrupted--- and changed; and, the most effective person to do this is someone loved, respected, admired, and who can be trusted to understand and be fair, without being demeaning or abusive: YOU... Barring any physiological aberrations, this is greatly effective. If employed on a hit-or-miss basis rather than on a consistent basis, this can be highly destructive. An adult needs to be responsible in this regard; they hold a child's future in their hands--- and it's fragile

So they can walk quietly while hunting

It is unlikely. Most cats do not like citrus, which have a sharp (and sometimes sour) taste and smell. Most cats will avoid citrus due to the smell.

Their feet...

cats have their scent on the pads on their paws, so when they walk outside they can trace their scent back to where they came from.

this is why, when you first let your cat outside it is crucial for the cat to go out by herself, and not be carried outside

hang them up where the cats cant jump OR u can spray something around the plants or put them in a cage

take it out before you bust the fly wheel

no

Fish:tuna,salmon etc. CANNED

Male cats are neutered and female cats are spayed.

Maybe you're just difficult to be around at that time.

The crystal kind (like Clear Choice Crystals) is definitely the best. It is much more absorbant than the clay kind, and it lasts twice as long. It is also much less smelly than the clay litter, and it tracks less, too (meaning, less of it gets outside the litter box and scatters all over the house).

Yes, this is very possible with certain types of collars. If this concerns you, you can purchase either a break-away collar that will come unbuckled immediately if it becomes snagged on something, or a collar with an expandable elastic backing that will allow the cat to slip out if anything like that happens.
