- Why does my cat always come into my bathroom to cuddle with me? I think this is what has blown my mind the most. Sometimes, if he sees a millimetre of space between the door and the wall, he sticks his paw in to pull the door open and come in. Even when I'm taking a bath, he wants to stay inside and gossip. Since I've had a cat, I don't know what privacy is.
- He is obsessed with scratching me when I'm not paying attention, as if I were his prey. Of course, after his mischief, he runs away as if they were handing out fried chicken. This has been challenging because it threatens me.
- He is very unfriendly. When I approach him to pet him, he simply won't let me. He only wants to be petted when he wants it, precisely when I am feeding my dogs or when I am in the bathroom.
- He is at war with the female dogs. When they approach him, he sharpens his claws, stands up and moves his paws like a boxer. He doesn't care how big my female dogs are, or that they are female dogs. He just scratches them over and over again and jumps to a high place in the house so they can't reach him.
- He seems to think he's a baker and I'm his dough. He kneads my belly as if he were softening me up, which tickles me.
- He has an imposing gait. He walks like he's the king of the jungle, proud and with a firm step. Several people who have seen him walk agree that he thinks he's the most dangerous.
- When he sleeps, it seems as if his spirit leaves his body. Akito is a very heavy sleeper. One day, I had to wake him up, and after calling him several times, I had to pick him up because for a moment I thought he had gone to meet his maker, given how deep his sleep was.
Well, perhaps you see these behaviours as everyday and normal, but I still cannot get used to all of the cat's habits. However, despite all these experiences living with him, I believe that Akito does a very good job of scaring away mice and vermin within his range, as well as being part of the family, where he is accepted but still waiting to become an adult and mature to improve our coexistence.
Well, animal-loving friends, this has been my experience over the last eight months since I adopted Akito, and even though time passes, he seems to enjoy being king.
What do you think about these characteristics of cats? Do you think it's common behaviour for cats, or is mine very spoilt?
If you've read this far, thank you. See you next time. Best regards.
