Cats bond with humans to the same extent as human infants and dogs

How to bond with your cat? Is something wrong?

PoC avatarPosted on February 10, 2022 by Michael BroadFebruary 10, 2022

I am revisiting a page that I wrote about 12 years ago. The question in the title (which I have subsequently amended) asked how a cat owner can bond with their cat. Internet users ask the question sometimes. The implication …

Tabby cat is protective of toddler

Are domestic cats smarter than toddlers?

PoC avatarPosted on February 3, 2022 by Michael BroadFebruary 3, 2022

I am afraid that the question is unworkable. It is not practical or possible to compare the intelligence of a domestic adult cat to the intelligence of a toddler in the age bracket 1-3. There are two variables: animal versus …

Clearly, there are millions of households in which cats and dogs live together harmoniously. As we all know it is down to socialisation and good caregiving. Although dogs naturally treat cats as a prey animal, if they are socialised to …

Cat stalking and tail wagging

Does a cat’s tail have a mind of its own?

PoC avatarPosted on December 18, 2021 by Michael BroadDecember 18, 2021

I am discussing the domestic cat’s tail. Having thought about this for the first time, I’ve decided that the positioning and movement of a cat’s tail is between a voluntary and an involuntary action. Therefore, it does not quite have …

Which gender of domestic cat is better with kids?

PoC avatarPosted on December 9, 2021 by Michael BroadDecember 9, 2021

Individual cats have their own character. This probably overrides their gender-influenced character. The question in the title is hard to answer to precisely for that and other reasons. However, on balance male cats are probably better with kids for the …

Feral cat greeting

Do feral cats meow?

PoC avatarPosted on November 30, 2021 by Michael BroadNovember 30, 2021

In general, feral cats do not meow. This is because it is usually a learned vocalisation between domestic cat and human caregiver which is employed to ask for something. We hear it a lot. In short, it a product of …

All cats are autistic

All cats are autistic! Discuss.

PoC avatarPosted on November 24, 2021 by Michael BroadNovember 24, 2021

Arguably autism is a false human construct and no-one has it. Call autistic kids something else if you want to label them because they behave differently to most others. If that’s true domestic cats don’t and can’t have it 😕 …

Cat owner's personality affects cat behavior

Neurotic people are poorer cat caregivers than agreeable people

Interpreting the way your cat walks

PoC avatarPosted on July 13, 2021 by Michael BroadJuly 13, 2021

Getting your cat’s purr-mission is simply another way of being sensitive to your cat’s desires and requirements – understanding feline behavior. I like the idea, though, of asking your cat for permission or consent to pet them. Although, it’s not …

Why do domestic cats fight?

How do jaguars communicate?

PoC avatarPosted on June 2, 2021 by Michael BroadJune 2, 2021

Jaguars communicate primarily through the sounds that they make (vocalisations) and in addition through: urine spraying, scrapes i.e. claw marks on the ground and objects, and depositing their faeces in prominent locations. They use these communications to indicate their occupancy …
