Love for drawers, boxes and cabinets

What does it mean that cats love boxes, drawers and cabinets and have an irresistible desire to hide in them? This feature is explained by the desire for privacy. This habit was passed on to modern pets from their wild ancestors, who were forced to live in harsh conditions, sometimes hiding in secluded places from the predatory animals that hunted them.

In a residential area, cats are not in danger of becoming victims of an enemy, unless we are talking about them living in the same territory with dogs with whom they do not have a good relationship. However, they retained the habit of hiding in secluded places.

Sometimes he curls up into a ball, sometimes he stretches out in his sleep.

Curling up in their sleep is a typical behavior for many cats. It is not difficult to understand why they choose this particular position. Curling up into a ball, tucking their paws under them and wrapping their tail, they just want to keep warm. Animals usually sleep this way in the cold season and when the house is cool.

Another reason for this position in sleep is to protect the internal organs from a possible attack by the enemy. Modern representatives of this family inherited this feature from their wild ancestors, who, even in a sleepy state, were on alert so as not to become prey to predatory animals. Pets are not in danger, but they still sleep curled up in a ball.

Sleeping animals periodically stretch out to stretch their stiff bones. This position indicates that the four-legged pet feels completely safe. Cats sleep in the same position when they are hot.

White breeds of cats and male cats with photographs and names: photos, character description

White cats are very beautiful and elegant. According to the standards, white breeds are not allowed any spots or impurities. This color can only be obtained by crossing purebred breeds that have not been mixed.

White coat color in cats can be due to various reasons:

due to a specific gene associated with deafness (seen in cats with green or blue eyes)
due to albinism, when animals have no coat pigmentation, and their eyes and skin have a pinkish tint
due to the presence of the gene that determines white spotting. Sometimes there are a lot of such white spots, they merge together, and the cat turns white

Some pets bury food because they like it.

Not knowing whether he will have a chance to taste the tasty treat again, the animal tries to hide it so that he can enjoy it again later.

How a cat chooses a place for itself

It is worth noting that cats love to sleep; in total, cats spend about 2/3 of the time of their entire lives in a state of sleep and dozing. A cat's sleep and its duration depend on the age, season, health and sexual needs of the animal. Kittens and older cats sleep more than adults. In a dream, an animal can actively move; scientists have not yet established why this happens, so all that remains is to make guesses and assumptions.

The cat chooses a place to sleep very carefully, because it spends so much time in this state. Access to the sleeping area should be free, and at the same time, the place should be located so that no one disturbs the pet's sleep. A cat can change places to sleep if something doesn’t suit it in its current place. The difficulty is that the sleeping place must have a good view of the room, the cat must be confident in its safety. Often conflicts arise between the cat and the owner when the owner shows the pet the chosen place to sleep, but the cat does not want to sleep in this place and chooses another place that does not suit the owner.

There are certain principles that guide an animal when choosing a sleeping place:

their favorite place is the owner’s lap; cats generally love to bask in their arms when they are stroked and scratched. If the cat owner does not mind the cat sleeping in the owner's bed, then this will be the best place to sleep. However, most experts do not recommend allowing pets to sleep in their owner's bed. No matter how much the owner of the animal takes care of the cleanliness and health of the cat, the bed is not a place for animals;
not very brave and courageous individuals choose places on a hill, so that in case of danger they will have some advantage;
cats are thermophilic, so they love to sleep near heaters, radiators and stoves. In the winter season, you need to carefully monitor your pet, make heating devices as safe as possible, or put them out of reach of your pet;
Dark corners and inconspicuous places also appeal to cats. The main thing for a cat is a feeling of safety; if the cat knows that nothing threatens it, then it will have no need for hiding places;
cats love various boxes and containers with a recess. Pets often sleep in crates or laundry baskets.

In order for your cat to lead an active lifestyle and be able to sleep peacefully, several recommendations should be followed. The cat must choose a place to sleep on its own; the more a person interferes with this choice, the more difficult it will be for the cat to get used to this place. In the place chosen by the cat, if it completely suits the owner, you need to lay a cover or rug. The rug needs to be cleaned periodically because... it quickly gets dirty with wool and litter from the tray. You can help in choosing a place to sleep by purchasing a special sleeping place.

Nowadays, a huge variety of houses and beds for sleeping are sold on the shelves of pet stores. You can buy a booth with an opening roof or just a mattress with sides; most often cats like such places and they sleep in them with pleasure. For a cat to sleep peacefully and soundly, one place is not enough. The pet should walk in the fresh air and receive adequate nutrition; if the cat receives everything it needs for normal functioning, then it will sleep soundly and be in a good mood.

Choosing a kitten

The habits of all cats are generally similar. But how can you find out about the character of an animal if it is a small kitten? How to determine who we choose for ourselves?

There is a theory according to which hormones influence their development. They have an effect on both the body and behavior. Therefore, these two factors are connected, which means that the kitten must be selected based on the expression of its face.

When choosing, you also need to pay attention to your parents. Since kittens are constantly with their mother while growing, they have time to learn basic skills.

Scientists have proven that cats - fathers influence habits and preferences even in the embryonic period. Therefore, if possible, take a closer look at your parents.

The breed plays the biggest role in a cat's character. Therefore, first of all, you need to choose a suitable breed. The period of socialization of a kitten takes place in the first four months. All the skills he can acquire will last a lifetime. Therefore, the owner’s task is to teach his pet everything necessary. And in the end, get maximum positive energy and joy from communicating with this independent creature.
