Anybody that's browsed the internet long enough
can attest that cats can be some purr-ty strange

In an effort to get to know our feline friends
a litter better, we sunk our claws into some

of their pawsitively odd behaviors and threw
our findings into this cat-astrophic installment!

Some Alone Time
Ever just want to snuggle up to or play with

your cat only to be met with the cold shoulder?

While you may initially think you're feline
is simply oblivious to its surroundings, researchers

at the University of Tokyo have found that
there's something a bit ruder going on.

In a study of 20 domesticated cats, researchers
determined that about 30% of the felines sampled

essentially ignored those who called out to
them.

So don't worry, your cat probably isn't a
complete jerk and may just be suffering from

Cat-tention
Of course, for every time your cat decides

to ignore you, there is probably many instances
where it decides to plop its furry overgrown

Sure, your computer is warm and fits your
kitty's body perfectly, but perhaps there's

One of the more popular reasons for this intrusive
behavior is that your tiny family member is

There's a good possibility your cat will sit
on anything it sees you messing with, even

The Kitty Sprint
Unless you're new to the interwebs, you've

probably seen a video or two of cats randomly
sprinting to no specific destination.

Well, while you're sitting there judging their
mental state, you may actually want to take

a cue from that four-legged speeding fluff-ball.

One of the most common reasons for a random
outburst is a need to release energy.

Instinctively, cats are programmed to hunt
and chase down their meals, and since the

domesticated house cat is hand delivered its
meals, it has this built-up store of energy

If your cat also exhibits obsessive scratching
and grooming, it could be showing signs of

Everything is Food
Should you start to find inedible items around

your house showing up with kitten teeth marks
on them, it may actually be experiencing what's

known as pica, or the urge to eat non-food
items.

While pica is not necessarily dangerous to
cats, if you observe yours chewing on unexpected

items, it's always best to start with a visit
to the vet.

Additional causes for this strange behavior
can include dietary deficiencies, a compulsive

disorder, and even feline leukemia or feline
immunodeficiency virus.

If it is just a case of pica, however, removing
what your cat is chewing on and giving it

Unwanted Gifts
When a friend of yours brings a dead mouse

to your door, you immediately call the police…
or grab 2 forks and some butter, depending

BUT, when your cat does it, you're disgusted
but also should feel a little flattered.

You see, cats don't deliver dead animals to
just any person.

They're instinctual creatures still acting
out on a natural-born need to hunt and when

there's dinner to be had, who better to share
it with than family?

That's right, if your cat brings you a deceased
rodent or bird, it's simply providing its

family with the nutrition it needs to survive.

Whether or not you decide to eat said nutrition…
well, tat's totally up to you.

There are a couple of reasons why your cat
may have the tendency to smash its head against

yours and, thankfully, self-defense is not
one of them.

When your cat engages you in some light headbutting,
either against your cheek, chin, or the thick

of your own skull, it's doing what's known
as bunting and allorubbing.

Known for being a social response, cat bunting
is a means of spreading the scent from their

many scent glands to you, further solidifying
your place as a close friend or family member.

Then again, there's always the small possibility
that your cat craves attention or is simply

using you as a makeshift scratching post,
but chances are that it's creating a bond

Kitty Kisses
Did our writers just make me say "kitty kisses"?

Not to be confused with butterfly kisses,
Eskimo kisses, or French kisses, cat kisses

are really just another means for that adorable
fluff to tell you that they love you.

Kitty kisses aren't what you think, however,
and actually, involve the cat's eyes.

Yes, those adorable, lovable... creepy, lifeless
eyes are believed to help your cat express

While a slow blink and very relaxed face may
look like your cat is about ready to zonk

out for the day, what may really be happening
is that your fluff is showing you affection.

These cat kisses are a common sign of love
between a feline and its family.

Cat Chat Fever
You're lounging around one day enjoying your

silence when suddenly, from a corner of your
house, you hear this strange chattering.

Your mind may wander to something sinister
in your home, like a being from another world,

but you can just tuck that silliness back
into the deepest recesses of your brain.

What you're actually hearing is your cat who,
experts believe, could be making noises of

frustration at its inability to hunt viewable
prey.

Another far more gruesome theory points to
the chattering being a reflex motion linked

to your cat's instinct to bite down on its
prey's neck.

Cat Mischief
Let's face it, your cat can be a handful,

especially when it decides to just randomly
knock over your finest possessions.

It's not just being a big feline jerk, however.

In fact, it's believed that your furry friend
is practicing its hunting strategies, specifically

when it toys with its prey before murdering
it.

As your cat learns its surroundings, it is
likely to test out some of your favorite inanimate

objects to see if it'll try to scamper off
and give a good hunt.

Though cats eventually learn this isn't the
case, they also realize that knocking over

items produces a different reaction - the
presence of its human companion.

If you notice your feline knocking over a
lot of your stuff frequently, try giving it
