Top 3 Weirdest Cat Habits: Why Do They Do It?

The behavior of cats, as well as other animals, is strongly influenced by instincts.

Therefore, if it seems to you that your pet is behaving, to put it mildly, strangely, do not rush to be surprised - perhaps there are reasons for this.

1. Trampling

For example, if your pet “massages” you or a blanket with its soft paws, it simply means that it has awakened a childish habit of kneading its mother cat’s belly to stimulate milk production.

In adulthood, this behavior means that the cat wants to demonstrate its satisfaction, calm down, or even mark the object it is trampling on with its scent.

2. Trying to squeeze into tight spaces

If an animal intends to climb into a box or a bag that is much smaller than itself, you can be sure that the pet will almost always succeed in realizing its plan.

In this way he tries to feel safe and experience warmth, convenience and comfort.

3. Running

It is also not surprising that the cat is running headlong from one corner to another.

Cats have more sensitive hearing and vision, so they can notice something that is invisible to us, their owners, which forces them to immediately get up and go on a “reconnaissance mission”.
