For a long time, scientists believed that it would be impossible for a cat in free fall to turn over. That's why French physiologist Etienne-Jules Marey's 1894 high-speed photographs of a falling cat landing on its feet proved so shocking to Marey's peers. But Gbur has emphasized that cats are living creatures, not idealized rigid bodies, so the motion is more complicated than one might think.
They are very territorial, so while it's a little early for breeding season, your little tapper could have already staked out his territory and is determined to protect it, even if he is protecting it from himself. Few creatures understand that the birds they are seeing in windows and other reflective surfaces are actually just their own reflection. So they do what's natural and peck at the intruder to scare them away.
Their easygoing nature makes them less likely to be territorial, and they are often seen following their owners or other pets around the house. Maine Coons are known for their playful demeanor, which can make them great companions for dogs and other cats. Despite their size, they are gentle and patient, making them ideal for families with children and other pets.
Your cat's been grooming themselves for hours again. They've taken to hiding under the bed more often. Maybe they've even stopped using the litter box properly. If you're like most cat owners, you probably chalk these behaviors up to typical feline quirkiness. "That's just cats being cats," we tell ourselves. But what if these seemingly normal behaviors are actually your cat crying out for help?
