- What are some interesting behaviors of cats

Sure! Here are eight interesting behaviors of cats:

**Kneading**: Cats often knead with their paws on soft surfaces. It’s like they’re making biscuits! This behavior comes from kittenhood when they knead their mom to stimulate milk flow.

**Chattering**: You might notice your cat making a weird chattering sound when they see birds outside. It’s thought to be a mix of excitement and frustration, like they’re trying to mimic the sound of their prey.

**Purring**: While we usually associate purring with contentment, cats also purr when they're scared or in pain. It’s their way of self-soothing, kind of like a human humming to themselves.

**Grooming**: Cats spend a lot of time grooming themselves, not just for cleanliness. It’s also a way for them to relax and can help them bond with other cats if they groom each other.

**Head-Butting**: When a cat rubs their head against you, it’s a sign of affection. They have scent glands on their heads, so they’re marking you as part of their territory and showing they trust you.

**Zoomies**: You know those random bursts of energy when your cat races around the house? That’s often called the “zoomies,” and it can happen after they’ve been resting or after a good play session.

**Hiding**: Cats love to find cozy spots to hide, whether it’s under the bed or in a box. It gives them a sense of security and a place to observe their surroundings without being seen.
