In the not-too-distant past they would have had to make their own beds (try telling THAT to your pampered felines!). Our cats haven't always lived in the lap of luxury. Why does my cat turn around in circles before sitting down? So it really could be that your kitty has worked out it has too much on its plate for one sitting, and is trying to save it for later, just like its wild cousins do!Ģ. However, food caching has been observed in the European wildcat, which is a relatively close relative of our domestic cats.
In the wild, it is usually only cats who make kills much larger than themselves that engage in this behaviour - such as leopards and lynxes. Some people have speculated about whether cats are also trying to 'cache' or hide their food to save some of it for later. The burying behaviour is designed to stop any leftover food attracting dangerous predators who might prey on smaller cats. It turns out that burying food is a completely natural feline behaviour that our cats have inherited from their wild ancestors, who would have been small, desert dwelling felines. She’s even been known to steal socks from the laundry basket and carefully arrange them over her food bowl! But what is driving these strange kitty behaviours? Like many cats, our cat has done this ever since she was a kitten - frantically pawing at the ground around her food in a vain attempt to cover it up with some imaginary earth. But is there an internal logic to their unusual antics? Here are the surprising explanations behind some of their most bizarre behaviours. We all know our cats are charismatic little oddballs - it's what makes them so loveable. Has your cat ever really weirded you out, or had you in fits of laughter with its strange habits?
