Furry felines are unique animal species that possess various characteristics. One of the extraordinary behaviors of cats has something to do with their territorial instinct.
These animals are known to develop a strong bond with their living environment, having a strong tendency to “mark” it. When the cats “mark” their territories, it represents their hunting territory to prevent conflicts with other felines. How do cats mark territories? Here are some steps they do their markings through their scents:
- Facial glands
- Urine
- Feces
- Anal glands
The territory of a cat is composed of several places, including a den or a core area where she plays, eats, or sleeps. Outside of this core area is the hunting station of the cat where she roams around and explores.
A cat may feel threatened when an outside feline tries to enter her territory. This situation is where growling, hissing and staring start between two felines.
Any concerns you may have about your pet’s health and/or behavior should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Middletown, DE.
