A Cats' Behavior

To be able to understand cats, it is necessary to know what they are like. They are solitary by nature, innate hunters and it could be said that they are even antisocial.

Cat hunter
By nature, the felines hunt to eat. Domestic cats don't have this need but they follow their predator instinct with the intention of amusement or imitate their fellow. They are capable of walking along the edge of windows and balconies and undertake a bird or insect hunt.

This can be mortal: a mislead or fright can make them fall easily than what we think. A high percentage of visits to the veterinarian is because of falls and not all of them come out uninjured. The most frequent consequences are leg or maxillary fractures or damage in the thorax. However, if they fall from a certain distance with enough time to change positions, they can avoid any injuries. An organ in their internal ear and eyes transmit to their brain the necessary orders to put in march a sophisticated system that dulls the legs and balances them and allows that the fall does not have major repercussions.

In occasions, they put their hunting aptitude aside and focus on us making us victims of their games. They hide in corners of the house, nabbed and stalking us until we pass by and then they jump on our legs or ankles. This could seem amusing while they don't hurt us, but it is preferable that they play with other elements.
