Long sleep
Cats sleep up to 20 hours a day; they need such long sleep in order to gain strength for hunting. Of course, domestic animals no longer need to hunt, and prey does not run around the apartment, but ancient instincts still make themselves felt.
Cats love to sleep curled up in a ball or stretched out at full length, and not be disturbed by anyone. If there are small children in the house who constantly disturb the purring sleep, then the animal can become nervous, aggressive and may even get sick. Sometimes it seems that the pet is sleeping even while sitting, but in fact he is only dozing lightly and is on alert.
Cat Quest
This is a game in the RPG genre. The user will go to an amazing fantasy world. Cats here have achieved world domination, literally the whole world is in their paws. The plot begins with a terrible incident: the protagonist's sister is kidnapped by a dragon. Of course, the cat cannot just leave it like that, he wants to find his relative. Together with him, the player will travel across a huge world, meet amazing characters and complete a variety of quests.
Battles take place in real time. The main character knows how to wield a sword, but he can also cast spells. The player himself can choose the style of play - everything is based on preferences. In addition, Cat Quest requires careful selection of equipment.
Play
Absolutely all cats love to play, regardless of breed and character. Some owners believe that their pet is too lazy, arrogant or proud and therefore does not like to play, but this is a misconception. Cats, like hunters, are ready to run after any attractive object, for example, a candy wrapper. Such games help animals:
- develop the muscular, musculoskeletal, respiratory systems;
- spend extra energy;
- improve health;
- increase muscle mass;
- have fun.
The games have a lot of advantages. Veterinarians say that if a cat does not play at all and ignores all toys, then it means either she is sick or is too old and is not able to run.
Play as a result of excess energy
The first theory appeared more than 100 years ago, it was proposed by the English philosopher and sociologist Herbert Spencer in 1891. According to him, higher animals can accumulate excess energy, since they quite easily obtain food for themselves.
This excess energy must then be released into the useless activities of their daily lives. This theory has always had supporters, for example, Remy Chauvin wrote: “The body can be compared to a hot horse that wants to throw out the energy that overwhelms it.”
Apparently, this explanation is perfectly suitable for our domestic cats, who are well-fed, spoiled and really do not have any need to expend energy to maintain their existence.
Sharpen your claws
Many owners feel sad, swear, get upset or scream when their pets start sharpening their claws on wallpaper or furniture. But before you get angry, you need to figure out why cats do this. There are two main reasons:
- Grind down the claws. The sharp claws of purrs constantly grow and prevent them from walking on flat surfaces; they often cling to carpets, and to prevent this from happening, pets grind them down.
- Mark the territory. There are glands on a cat's paws that secrete a special secretion that cats use to mark their territory.
Scratchy paws
Cats have long learned to use their front paws not only for movement and hunting. With their help, it is easiest for them to communicate with their owners. They have learned to give their paw when asked, or to touch their owner when attention is needed. Modern cats can even point in the direction or point to an object that interests them.
If, upon contact with a person, a cat clenches and unclenches its toes, retracting and pulling out its claws, then this means complete trust . Pussy loves the attention she gets. In this way she shows the owner to continue his actions.
If an animal hides its paws under itself while sleeping, it means the pussy is cold. Thus, the pet tries to maintain its body heat. To make your cat comfortable, you should buy a warm bed for him.
Bask in the sun
A cat's body temperature is slightly higher than a human's; normally it should be kept at 39 degrees, so cats are sometimes forced to regulate their temperature on their own. For this reason, they crawl under the covers of their owners and warm themselves, sleeping near radiators, on household appliances that heat up.
But most of all, cats love to lie in the sun. One might think that they replenish the lack of vitamin D in the body, but in fact, this is how purrs simply achieve the desired body temperature.
Cattails | Become a Cat!
As the name suggests, here the player will be able to feel like he is in the skin of a cat. They will be sent to live in a cat colony. Therefore, you will have to think about how to find a common language with your neighbors. But you don't have to be friends with them. If you want to constantly conflict with other cats, then go ahead.
The life of tailed animals is filled with interesting adventures. There is an opportunity to go hunting, defend your possessions, explore scary caves and look for jewelry. If the player wants to settle down, tired of adventures, then he can start a family, build his own warm and comfortable home, and then start raising his offspring. Kittens can later become the hero’s companions in his research.
Receive affection and love
Even the most independent cats sometimes want to be petted and cuddled occasionally. Feeling the need to communicate with the owner, they themselves come and demand attention, and when they get tired of stroking, they simply leave. Many cats can’t stand being forcefully petted when they don’t need it at all, so you shouldn’t force your love on your pet.
They, like people, are in good and bad moods, sometimes they are in the mood for communication, and sometimes they want to be alone. Every loving owner should know how to please their pet, then the relationship with their pets will be good. Satisfied cats and cats bring their owners only joy and laughter, and never play dirty tricks.
