They also have a number of physical attributes that are often downright funny. Cats, or so the saying goes, always land on their feet. This is almost true, they almost always land on their feet, or at least try to, but not even millions of years of cat genetics allow them to predict every outcome. More comically, cats will also just freeze and go limp when they are grabbed by the scruff of their neck. Ostensibly so the mother can carry the kittens with ease, humans can also exploit this “loophole.”
And as much as you might think your cat loves you, always remember to feed them, since cat bonding is formed through feeding. So in a sense, they do love you, as long as you can provide. While this may sound a bit mercenary, the flip side is that this allows people to perhaps bond with wild cats or newly adopted cats, simply by placing food near them on a regular basis. Kinda like dating.
Famously, cats are also very sleepy little guys and will spend a good half to three-quarters of the day napping, particularly if we feed them. A cat in the wild, naturally, needs to hunt so will spend more time awake. Their preferred time to hunt is during the twilight period, which may explain why your house cat suddenly flies off the chain in the middle of the night with no explanation.
Cat owners might also be familiar with “making biscuits” or “kneading,” when the feline massages a surface with its paws. There does not appear to be a good explanation for this behavior, just that many cats learn it as kittens and seem to retain it into adulthood. Regardless, cat content, from ancient Egypt to memes, has been popular for a reason, so if you would want to see more, Bored Panda has got you covered, you can find our other articles on this topic here.
