Cats can be so squeaky clean and graceful that when they fart, we often tend to laugh at such unexpected behavior from our fastidious felines.
Though sometimes comedic, cutting cheese is a behavior that you may need to have some concern about if it becomes a chronic problem. Cats can have flatulence for a variety of reasons, from anxiety to allergies. Yes, it’s normal for your furry felines to fart but if they seem to be passing gas more than usual you might want to check with your local veterinarian.
Cover It Up!
Everyone has heard of finicky cats. And some cats make clear their gustatory preferences by covering up the food bowl.
If your cat is covering its food after eating some of it, it may be an instinctive behavior as wild felines cache their food to keep it safe from others. Your kitten or cat may scratch around its food bowl after eating or even use shredded paper to cover it up.
Interrupt Much?
Is your cat playing E.T. and trying to phone home? If it is interrupting your time on the phone, at the keyboard, or when reading, your cat is jealous of you giving attention to these objects rather than to your fur baby.
The solution is to give your cat more one-on-one time as well as interactive toys to keep it stimulated.
Countertop Cruising
Cats love lounging on countertops, shelves, and other second-story territories. The higher the perch, the better. That poses a hygiene and safety issue for cats who stroll across the stovetop. But you can't stop this natural inclination.
Pet cats, though no longer wild, inherit the instinct to seek high ground. They're hunters, sniffing out and stalking that tasty butter dish but also prey. Finding the highest ground in your house offers a nifty lookout, far from the dog-sniffing and kid-poking range.
Toe Tucking
We all like to tuck our hands and feet under the covers when we are cold. Cats are not much different, they just tuck paws and tails–and sometimes noses–under the “cover” of their own bodies. Cats definitely prefer warmer weather, so the average wintertime household may not be comfortably warm for our kitties.
Luckily, thanks to their lithe and flexible bodies, they can tuck all their extremities under them, leaving them looking a bit like a traditional American main dish.
