Cat Behavior

A collage of four photos showing different cat behaviors: a cat kneading a blanket, a curious cat chirping at a window, a zooming cat in mid-run, and a cat swishing its tail in alertness.

Cat behavior can be charming, puzzling, and downright hilarious. Whether your cat is making biscuits, chirping at birds, or zooming through the house at 2 a.m., every action has a reason. From paw twitches to tail swishes, cats use their bodies to express moods, instincts, and affection — often in surprising ways.

In this section, you’ll find answers to common questions about feline communication, play styles, and quirky habits. We break it all down in a way that’s simple to understand and fun to explore. Our goal is to help you build a deeper bond with your cat and enjoy every curious moment even more.
