The cat as a sociable animal

Kitty cat

There are many people who think that cats are solitary animals, and that they are not sociable. But reality differs a bit from those beliefs. It is true that they can be independent animals but, if we carefully observe a colony of cats for example, we will see how they interact with each other, how they show their sociability with other companions.

And is that they are still very mysterious animals, Do not you think?

The first social contact is established with his mother, which is in charge of giving him affection and protecting him, as do all mothers who have carried their babies in their womb for a few months, to then give them the precious milk which will help them grow strong and healthy. As time goes by, the kitten becomes more and more autonomous: until he can eat, play, in short, lead a normal life without his mommy giving him a leg. Although we know that kittens that are born at home and that can remain with their mother for a lifetime, will always maintain that close relationship.

As with us humans. It is not surprising that the cats in a colony maintain an "equal to equal" relationship with their caretakers. They may not approach them, but just for the sake of providing food and security, they have a lot of respect for them and do not hesitate to call them if they deem it necessary.

Kittens

A kitten that has been separated from its mother at an early age, between 2 and 3 months, they may run the risk of humans trying to "humanize" them. You have to know how to differentiate between several things. They do have feelings and they show it day after day, they also have the capacity for learning, but they are not human beings. Cats never act premeditated, they do not think for days how and when they are going to, for example, fight with another cat. They live in the moment, and that's the main difference between them and us when it comes to behavior.

And based on this we must act accordingly, and not blame him for something that he does not have. They do not act to harm us.
