Q: Although their aloofness has bred a reputation for apathy and a lack of love, cats actually have the same chemical responses in their brain when they have positive interactions with people and other friendly animals and can build close bonds and attachments to humans and other cats. The love response is created by oxytocin, a chemical secreted by the brain when we experience strong attachment. Cats are intelligent enough to master vocalization with their human companion, provided humans pay attention.  What sounds does you cat make in response to various activities like feeding? Cuddling on the couch?  Play time?  When it wants to get in your lap?  Note trends in vocalization to better understand what your cat is attempting to tell you. Purring means different things.  Science hasn’t completely nailed down why cats purr.  We know mother cats do it when nursing.  We also know that cats purr when they are happy.  But cats also purr when they are attempting to calm themselves down, even when giving birth.  When your cat purrs, take notice of the context and that can help explain the purpose of that specific purr. Tail up means “Hi!  I’m feeling friendly.”  Tail down means “I’m hunting, or not interested in interacting with you at the moment.”  Staring means “I don’t know what to think about you, and I might be a little concerned.” Long, slow blinking means “I am comfortable around you.  You are my friend.”  Laying down on her side and stretching means “I’m relaxed and would like petting.” Laying down with ears back and a rigid posture means “I’m really frightened and will kick, scratch, or bite if you come closer.” There are some responses among cats that are universal; and yet, there are others that are specific to each feline. Some cats puff up slightly when they are feeling cuddly or excited about affection (this is normally a reaction associated with aggression and fear). Some cats will grab you lightly with their claws when they want to get your attention to be picked up, petted or fed (this can also be a sign of unhappiness or aggression).  Be sure to pay attention to your specific cat and learn the nuances of his or her behavior. Cats consider a closed door to be a personal challenge.  They will attempt to sneak in to sate curiosity.  The same thing can be true of closed cabinets, drawers, closets, and other storage areas.  If the area is off limits because it is dangerous to the cat, install child locks or doorknobs that the cat cannot tug to open. If the area is not dangerous but they don’t need to be there without supervision, try to give the cat regular, supervised time in the space to explore and demystify it.  This will sate their curiosity and prevent them from darting in each time you open the door. Think about your cats when you make life choices.  Cats get bored and need stimulation that satisfies their natural instincts.  Where you live, furniture you bring into the home, and the amount of window space can place a significant role in creating a cat-friendly environment.  Below are some considerations to keep in mind: Are you living in a place where a cat can reasonably sit in or look through a window? Cats will look for ways to get to windows where they can look outside, even to the detriment of drapes and objects of furniture required to vault to these spaces.  Try to provide window seating for your cat, using either a window shelf or putting a piece of furniture under a window that the cats can rest on. Can you arrange furniture and shelving to let your cats perch above a room? Cats in the wild climb trees when they want to nap safely or feel threatened. Put a tall scratching and play tower near a bookcase or window.  If near a window, put shelving over the window that is reachable from the top tier of the cat tower.  Now when the cat feels insecure or wants an out of the way place to nap, they can climb up to a high spot in the room and feel more confident. Cats are active, particularly at night, and will climb, run, and play throughout the house.  Is the couch you want in the kind of material that will do well with cats? Thin, easily scratched materials like microsuede or woven, easily picked materials like brocade can be quickly destroyed by active felines.  Choose something like a duck canvas or velour, or get a couch cover for day-to-day use. Do you have scratching posts? Cats have scent glands in their feet and are predisposed to scratching in high-traffic areas to remind other animals and people that they have a stake in this room.  If you notice the cat scratching something it shouldn’t, put a scratching post in that area or consider rearranging the room so that the scratching post is located in a high-traffic area near a busy doorway.  You can also put double-sided tape on the edges of furniture, etc. to prevent cats from scratching.
A: Understand that cats experience love. Listen to your cat. Pay attention to body language. Accept the cat will be curious. Accept that your cats will climb on everything.
