If you're a cat lover or live with one, you've probably noticed some strange behaviors that make us wonder, "What is my cat doing?"
Let's delve into the world of strange cat behavior and try to understand it:
:Nighttime Zoomies
Have you ever seen your cat running around the house at breakneck speed, climbing up and down furniture, as if chased by something invisible? This phenomenon is known as "zoomies" or "3 a.m. madness." This often occurs in the evening or early morning and is a way for cats to release their built-up energy. Cats are natural predators, and they need to release this energy through running, jumping, and chasing, even if it's indoors.

:Kneading
When your cat begins to push its soft (or sometimes sharp!) claws into your thigh or belly, this behavior is known as "kneading" or "kneading." This behavior dates back to early childhood, when kittens kneaded their mother's belly to stimulate milk flow. When your cat does this with you, it means she feels safe, comfortable, and happy, and considers you part of her family.

:Obsession with Boxes and Tight Spaces
No matter the size of the box, cats will find a way to fit themselves in it! From paper bags to basins, cats adore enclosed and confined spaces. This behavior stems from their survival instinct; tight spaces provide cats with a sense of security and a place to hide from potential predators (even if there aren't any in sight!). They also provide them with a comfortable place to observe without being seen.

:Bringing you prey gifts
If you find your cat placing a dead mouse, or even a toy, at your feet, you may feel disgusted or confused. But from a cat's perspective, this is a valuable "gift." Cats are successful predators, and when they bring you prey, they are either trying to teach you how to hunt or considering you part of their group and sharing their spoils with you. It's a way of expressing affection and loyalty.

:Drinking from a faucet instead of a water bowl
Many cats prefer to drink from a running faucet rather than a standing water bowl. This behavior is believed to be due to their natural instinct, as running water is often cleaner and safer to drink than stagnant water. The movement of the flowing water may also be more appealing to them. So, if your cat does this, you may want to consider a cat water fountain to encourage them to drink.

:Completely Ignoring You Then Suddenly Demanding Attention
Have you ever tried to pet your cat and they pulled away, only to jump onto your lap a few minutes later and start meowing, demanding attention? This contradictory behavior is completely normal. Cats love their independence, but they also need love and affection on their own terms. They decide when and where they want to be petted.
