10 Odd Cat Behaviors Explained
=============================================
0:00 Introduction

If you're into cats, you probably know that these furry little guys are just a bit odd. What we find weird is totally cool with our cat pals. So, in today's video, we decided to dive into their world to explore and explain 10 of their odd behaviors.

0:22 10. Bringing You Dead Things

The curious behavior of cats offering their owners "gifts" such as dead animals or toys can be both confusing and charming. This habit stems from their hunting skills. Cats share their "catch" as a way to include you in their social circle, considering you a part of their family and returning the care they receive.

0:45 9. Urine Spraying

Urine spraying, which is often seen in unneutered males but can occur in other cats too, is a way for them to mark their territory and communicate with other felines. This behavior may also be triggered by stress, anxiety, or the desire to set boundaries.

1:15 8. Mouth Wide Open

Have you ever seen your cat open its mouth and appear to be "chewing" on the air? This is called the Flehmen response, and it helps cats better analyze scents. By exposing their vomeronasal organ to the air, cats can get a deeper understanding of the scents in their environment.

1:36 7. Purring

While purring is commonly linked to a happy and content feline, its meaning goes beyond just pleasure. Cats purr not only when they are at ease but also when they are experiencing stress or discomfort. Purring acts as a self-soothing technique, aiding cats in managing different situations and emotions.

1:57 6. Sleeping All Day

You might be curious about your cat's energy levels when you see them napping most of the day. Cats are crepuscular by nature, which means they are most active during the early morning and evening. This behavior aligns with their hunting instincts, as these are the times when prey is most available. Therefore, their daytime rest helps them conserve energy for their peak activity times.

2:24 5. Chilling in Small Spaces

Have you ever been impressed by your cat's knack for fitting into small spaces? Whether it's a cardboard box or a snug corner, cats are attracted to tight spaces because of their innate desire for security. These cozy spots reflect their ancestral instincts to seek out safe and secluded areas to avoid potential threats.

2:48 4. Head-Butting

The behaviors of cats, such as napping during the day, offering "gifts," seeking out small spaces, and head-butting their human companions, all have roots in their natural instincts and serve as ways for cats to feel secure, bond with their owners, and show trust and affection.

3:08 3. Hating Baths

The well-known dislike that cats have for water is closely linked to their thorough grooming routines. Cats are adept at grooming themselves, and the feeling of being wet can be distressing for them. Furthermore, their lack of control over their surroundings when wet may also play a part in their strong aversion to baths.

3:30 2. Cat Chatters

Cats exhibit a common and fascinating behavior of chattering at the windowsill while observing birds or prey, stemming from their innate hunting instinct. This chattering sound is believed to mimic the final vocalizations before a fatal bite, showcasing their primal hunting skills even indoors.

3:51 1. Licking Themselves

Cats are famous for their meticulous grooming habits, which involve spending a considerable amount of time licking themselves. This behavior serves multiple purposes, such as keeping their fur clean, regulating body temperature, and providing comfort reminiscent of their kitten days.

[Percept]

I liked the video, however --- I do not know who this Flehmen " expert " is, but the reason that cats yawn is because they feel very relaxed and they are drowsy. It`s as plain and simple, as that !!

[trufflehunter]

"mouth wide open"... that's just yawning. Stopped there.

[kellyhildreth]

The large yawn, or open mouth movements

Dammit. The thumbnail promised me an explanation on cats walking on my keyboard. Please don't put things on your thumbnail that won't be in the video. It's really annoying.
