Cats are wayward creatures. They like to play only by their own rules. This does not prevent people from admiring such pets.

The owners of these animals definitely noticed some oddities in their behavior.

For example, if you put your face too close to the pet's muzzle, it will definitely turn away. Of course, not all cats behave this way, but most of them do.

Experts identify three main reasons for this behavior.

One of them is related to the fact that cats do not like it when someone violates their personal space.

The problem may also be hidden in the cat's vision.

If the object is too close, it becomes more murky and unclear. This can alarm an animal that prefers to control everything.

Another reason is that the pet may be afraid that a person may shout or otherwise frighten it, and possibly harm it. Such fear can be reflexive.
