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 Do Your Cat’s Ears Tell You?

Posted by Jeanne on February 2, 2009

A cat’s ears can say a lot about what they are feeling or trying to express to others. Different ear positions mean different things:

• Ears Forward: When the ears are forward and relaxed, then your cat is happy and listening to the sounds around them.
• Ears Erect: This is when the cat is paying attention to something; he is alert to what is happening around him.
• Flattened Ears: This can relay fear or the cat being anxious.
• Ears Turned Back: Your cat is either annoyed or aggravated. This is a warning to whoever has caused their mood.
• Ears Completely Flat: This means fearful and aggressive. The cat is probably hissing and has his eyes narrowed.
