Even if you have been
sharing your life and home with a cat or two for a long time, there are still
some cat behaviors and mannerisms that may leave you confused. Here are two
behaviors that you may have observed in your pet:
Meowing
Cats meow to
communicate with other cats as well as with their owners. A cat that is asking
for food or attention will meow at his owner. However, some launch into
persistent meowing which can be outright annoying. When you give in to his
demands, your kitty will soon learn he can get what he wants when he vocalizes
loudly and persistently, thus unknowingly fueling his behavior. Persistent
vocalization may also be due to pain, illness, or anxiety.
Petting-Induced Aggression
From purring
contentedly while being petted to suddenly nipping their owner’s hand, these
encounters are fairly common in pet cats. Some cats can’t tolerate being petted
and handled for a considerable period of time and won’t hesitate to let their
owners know by nipping.
Consult with your veterinarian
North Phoenix, AZ if you have concerns or
problems about your pet cat’s behavior.
