Why Is My Cat So Curious?

Posted by Jeanne on February 23, 2009

Cats are very curious. You have probably heard the saying that involves curiosity killing the cat. This is why they climb and explore everything that they can. This is an instinctive behavior that can often get your cat into a lot of trouble. This is why you need to make sure that your house is cat proofed so that your cat doesn’t harm himself while exploring.

If there is a comfy spot, they will nest in it.
If there is a food smell, they will get to it.
If there is a protected spot, they will retreat to it.
If there is an unexplored spot in their domain, they will explore it.

This is THE CAT…

What Does Your Cat’s Tail Tell You?

A cat’s tail can also say a lot about his mood and what he is doing.

• Straight Up: This is a happy and content cat.
• Horizontally Behind: This means that cat is relaxed, confident, and alert.
• Straight and Quivering: your cat is happy.
• Straight with a Hook at the end: your cat is being friendly, but is not quite sure of the situation, person, or other animal.
• Straight and fluffy: This means your cat is feeling fear and is threatened.
• Swishing Tail: This can mean your cat is being playful or that he is annoyed.
