Cats behavior is so different for each cat, ranging from being your best bud to the haughty queen, that it just adds to the reasons that cat lovers enjoy their companions, besides the more obious physical differences.

Growing up in a household with an insane amount of indoor cats was made fascinating by the variety of personalities the cats possessed. One of the cats, Pansy, was a lovely tricolor cat who was reserved and shy. Pansy took every opportunity possibly to sit on top of our old Encyclopedia Britannica's.

Eric the short-haired orange tabby did not have the best litter box habits, but this was countered by his loyalty and presence when one was ill mentally or physically. Tinker was the most intelligent. He could open a step-on rubbish bin with ease, and would make music for half a day if the strings of my guitar were available.

Cats have individual personalities and some can be quite eccentric! It is important for cat owners to recognize what is "normal" for their cat. For example, it might be normal for your cat to insanely run up and down the hallway at night, however in a more placid cat could indicate a problem. Changes in your cats behavior could be caused by anything from feeling slightly off to resenting your favorite Aunt's visit.

A cat is dependant on stability, which means a change in their daily routine can disrupt a cat and cause unexplained cat behavior. For example, a cat could decide that they no longer like the litter they are using by refusing to use their litter box. It is in your cat's best interest to determine what will help make the situation stable again, which in this case, would be to find another type of litter that the cat likes.

So, in general, realize that cats behavior is as varied as human behavior. The more you know about what's baseline "normal" for your cat the easier it will be for you to pick up on behavioral variations that are trying to tell you something.

An individual cats behavior varies from cat to cat. You could get anything from loving to distant, oddball to boring, and numerous other behaviors as well. However, a sudden shift in routine may cause unusual cat behavior such as missing the mark when it comes to their little box or deciding they do not care for the brand of litter you are using. The more cat lovers know about what's baseline "normal" for your cat the easier it will be for you to pick up on behavioral variations that are trying to tell you something.
