Cats have a reputation for being cryptic and there is much more to our feline friends than meets the eye.
Here are five cat quirks that will change your opinion of felines forever.
Cats use a unique language only between themselves.
They communicate with one another in a novel way: by smell.
Cats use glands on their faces, paws, and tails to declare their territory and share information with other cats.
If you notice your cat rubbing its face against something, know that it is probably trying to “mark” it with its scent.
Cats have another peculiar behavior: they have an unusual affinity for climbing to great heights.
Cats have an innate desire to ascend, so it’s no surprise that they favor perches in high places like bookcases, window sills, and even the tops of doors.
In the wild, cats are predators that benefit from a good view of their surroundings in order to locate potential meals.
As a result, if you find your cat snoozing on the fridge, you can see that they’re acting on their instincts.
The grooming habits of cats are well-known, but did you realize that they devote over half of their awake time to this activity?
Cats have a keen sense of smell and maintain a pleasant scent by regularly grooming themselves.
It may also come as a surprise to find that cats are actually quite sociable creatures.
Despite their reputation for being introverted, cats really need and enjoy human companionship.
Studies have shown that cats in households with other animals may live longer and have fewer health problems than cats who are alone.
Last but not least, cats are renowned for their agility and flexibility, but did you know that they can twist their ears 180 degrees?
Cats can pinpoint the origin of a noise thanks to their exceptional aural flexibility. That’s why you sometimes see cats wiggle their ears while they listen.
In conclusion, felines are intriguing creatures that exhibit numerous unique tendencies.
Cats never fail to surprise us with their quirky habits, such as their love of climbing to great heights and communicating with one another through scent.
