Experts have revealed the reasons for the unusual behavior of cats

The habit of cats to wake their owners at dawn, throw things off the table and lie down on a laptop is associated with ancient instincts that have been preserved since the time of the wild. Experts explained how hunting behavior, territorial tags and the need for attention affect the daily habits of pets. Details can be found in the Izvestia article.

Why don't cats sleep at five in the morning

The cat's body is biologically attuned to early awakening. According to the experts of the SUPERPET company, this time is associated with the period of the greatest activity of their ancestors in the wild. At dusk and dawn, cats feel safe, as large predators are usually asleep at this moment.

Pets wake up their owners mainly for the sake of getting attention or food. According to veterinarian Elena Frolenko, the composition of the diet significantly affects the behavior of an animal and its feeling of satiety. The specialist emphasizes that nutrition should consist of meat, offal and vegetables to provide the body with all the necessary trace elements.

Why do pets drop objects

Throwing things off the table is most often a way for a cat to explore the world around them. Animals check objects by touch to understand how they move and react to touch. A falling object is perceived by them as an elusive prey, which activates hunting instincts.

Almost half of the cats carefully observe the cleaning of their tray, which is due to the instinct of masking traces. In the wild, it helped to avoid the attention of other predators. The cleanliness of the toilet is critically important for the health of the animal: with a dirty tray, the cat may begin to visit it less often, which provokes the development of kidney diseases and urolithiasis.

Sharpening your claws in different parts of the house is also a natural behavior. Cats have glands on their paws that secrete secretions that they use to mark their territory. Frolenko noted that it is extremely important for cats to be able to leave such scent marks in space.

Attachment and ways to calm down

The desire to lie on a desktop or laptop is explained by the need for warmth and the desire to be the center of attention of the owner. If a person spends a lot of time at a computer, the cat begins to perceive this place as a key part of its territory and a way to exchange smells.
