Everybody who owns a cat must agree that one common thing you will inevitably see your cat do is push their head into anything that will support the weight: furniture, piles of paper and your hand or your legs. The reason for all this is the same: the cat is trying to “own” the various things by putting their saliva on them. When your cat rubs the side of his mouth against things, he’s putting a little bit of saliva on it, creating a scent that will then be familiar and comforting to them. They act the same way with visitors you might have, putting some scent on them to know they belong to the house after all.
Another thing indoor cats love to do is lounging near windows meowing, flicking their tail violently, knocking down whatever is on or near the window ledge. They are simply acting out their hunting instinct on whatever creatures, leaves, or falling objects they see outside. If you want to see their playful behavior play out in full, drag an object on the ground with a piece of string and watch them go crazy to try and pounce it. You’ll see very similar behaviors to what they show at the window ledge. It is a normal and healthy behaviour. Play with your cats in this way to give them exercise and to let them pounce around.
These are just two of the many common behaviors you’ll see out of your cat in the years of owning one. By understanding why your cat behaves this way, you’ll be able to keep your cat happier and healthier.
