If you are photographing a Scottish wildcat (and it will be in captivity almost certainly) you are going to get a fierce look as you can see in this photograph because they are renowned for their aggressivity in the nicest possible way because they are called a “wildcat”. They’re meant to be aggressive towards …
After considerable thought, I’ve decided that domestic cats can worry about their owners especially if the relationship is one of a mother cat who perceives the ‘owner’ as one of her kittens which is very plausible under the right circumstances. This can happen if a child is raised with a domestic cat from a …
On YouTube, there are 8,309 comments for this video and not one, that I can see, answers the question why this nice cat attacked his owner when he opened a Christmas present. They all make jokes about it which I can understand but it would be nice and instructive to try and figure out …

The cat is outside a market in Istanbul, the country’s largest city. The cat’s antics have been picked up by security cameras. You can see that when a man passes …
This is a good example of what I would describe as defensive cat body language. Of course, it normally takes place between adult cats who are in a stand-off. They might be trying to avoid a fight by forcing one or the other to walk away (very slowly!). It could also be described as …
