Cat Guarding Patrols

When a curious cat patrols its territory, it picks up information through all its senses, but overall with the smell.

Of a special interest are, for example, an unknown cat that enters the territory leaving their odors marks. There are many animals that leave their odors on cat's territory, and all must pass a thorough examination. There are also those familiar odors that give him a sense of security. Domestic cats express their curiosity by climbing on the splay of a window to observe the outer world. The movement of birds, street cats or other animals and human beings don't escape from the observing eyes of a feline, although he barely becomes disturbed by all of this because they don't suppose a danger nor the opportunity for hunting.

Any new thing at home, like an empty box or a basket, will be investigated. If this senses of curiosity alerts him of something he doesn't like, as the presence of his transporting cage or the possible visit to the veterinary, then he will even hide.

Sense of privacy
Besides from the curiosity, there is another typical characteristic of the felines and is that they don't like for anyone to invade its privacy.

Although the saying that all felines are very reserved isn't always true in the case of domestic cats. It is true that they all need certain grade of privacy. They like to see without being seen.

The most experts are, of course, the felines of bigger size, which coats are so adapted to the habitat in which they live that we can even go by a leopard or a tiger a distance from them or 6 meters without seeing them.

Cats get offended when another animal places himself between him and its food or if they use their toilet of hygienic sand. And though they are very sociable, they like hunting and guarding alone their own territory.

They say, and it's true, that you never get to really know a cat as you would with a dog.
