Was Told That Kitty Would Be Appreciated Here!

Naturally, some cats are more affectionate and sociable while others are more solitary and avoidant. People continuously wonder why some cats are cheerful when others can be full of “cattitude.”Their ancestors in the wild used to be (and still are) very independent creatures, so most of them tend to avoid affection and being held. Some of them simply do not like to be touched because they received limited socialization with humans when they were kittens. Also, cats can be quite territorial so sharing food, litter boxes, and space can cause stress and make them more feisty. Besides natural tendencies, cats can become more isolated due to health issues or drastic changes.But there is still hope asresearch showsthat cats become more social when they’re paid more attention to, provided a safe space where they can hide, have an outlet to play, and are constantly socializing.

Why some kitties like these scrungy ones are more excitable and sociable than others is still quite a mystery. Some of it can be assigned to genetics as some breeds have mutations of the hypersocial gene. Persian, Siamese, and Sphynx cats can be quite the social butterflies. The rest of it comes down to upbringing and conditioning. Socialization, positive reinforcement, affection, and playful simulation can have a big impact on kitties' positive personality traits.

Through hard work,recent studieshave provided a more in-depth look into the social lives of these pets. It was found that felines can form attachments to their owners and feel more comforted when they come back home. Additionally, results revealed that once a cat forms a bond, it stays stable over time. These findings are useful for debunking the myth that kitties are not capable of forming relationships and don’t feel a connection to their owners.

My Scrungy Boy. Passed November 1st, This Is His Only Documented Scrunge❤️

Scrolling through the pics, you might think, wait a minute, my grandma’s cat is anything but scrungy. Well, just like people, not every feline is the same. They have a world of various emotions of their own.Common feelingsthat cats can experience are happiness, fear, anxiety, excitement, frustration, curiosity, relief, and even depression. Sometimes signs of emotion can be quite easily missed. If you notice that your cat is sitting with ears pointed forward or lying down with their paws tucked underneath them and they’re slowly blinking, your kitty is very happy. Their relaxed whiskers, tails, and gentle purring are also associated with content.

The Scrungiest Tm (You Can Barely Tell He’s Only Got One Eye!)

When your pet is feeling anxious, its eyes will be dilated into an oval or a circle, and its tail will move slowly from side to side. If they’re very anxious, the ears might even flatten to their heads, and they’ll make themselves appear smaller and less threatening. An irritated cat focuses on their object of frustration and will try everything to get what they want. Eyes will be wide open, ears and whiskers toward, and they may pace impatiently if they don’t achieve their goal.

My Cat Finnegan Saying Cheeeeth

Despite the fact that cats are one of the most common pets in people’s households, we know relatively little about them. One of those reasons is thestigmathat surrounds these feline creatures. In the Middle Ages, cats were thought of as companions of witches. When black cats were linked to Satanism and witchcraft, they were horribly tortured and killed. Even now, some consider seeing a black kitty running across their path a sign of bad luck.
