That s what they do.

All the hiding the silent movements the capacity to let only their eyes appear over an edge of the landscape; this is how cats hunt.

This is how cats live.

While cats are more than capable of streaking behind fleeing prey their ambush moves are designed to get them close sufficientto catch that prey before it bolts. Cats are very quickbut only for a short time. The wolf technology wearing down the prey with stamina is not something which works for cats.

Despite what I wishis a serious shortage of rodents running around in our homes cats still gotta executewhat cats gotta do. So toys other pets and our feet can become their targets.

Their love of ambush is also why they love to hide. Giving them places to conceal(RJ is currently enjoying the cardboard shipping box our moderncoffeemaker came in) can be an easy way to holdour cats happy. Play tunnels are another way to keep the excellenttimes rolling; sometimes literally. These play tunnels are often able to be collapsed and put away keeping them fresh to our cats. Leave a toy in storage long enough and it becomes new.

If our cat s ambushing becomes annoying it s probably a sign they aren t getting enough play. A playmate or a wand toy session will assistthem expend enough power to be satisfied.

We can directly them away from our feet by carrying toys with us when we approach perilousareas and using them to distract our attacking cat. This also teaches them their toys are a good substitute. Remember dangling laces or jingly shoe decorations are just asking for it.

In the wild cats would be either hunting or looking for hunting opportunities for maximumof their waking hours. Their meals tend to be tiny and thus frequent. Giving them approved ways to act out such compelling instincts creates a glad cat.

And happy people.
