Cats as everybody knows are the best companions anybody could have. Not only they are affectionate and very intelligent it has also been proven that they can relate to their human companions and that they also in some cases are known to be able to help humans to recover from many physical and psychological conditions. But for each cat the development of behaviour clearly depends both on inherited factors (primarily genes) and non-inherited factors (primarily environmental influences) in order to develop and they emerge as a result of a regulated interplay between the developing cat and the conditions in which she lives. Also, different genes may be expressed in the same way in different environmental conditions. For that reason the cat's behaviour cannot be divided into just two types (those caused by internal factors and those caused by external factors) and even behaviours, which are considered as "unlearned" are often modified by learning and by other forms of experience later in development. Other environmental factors, such as the quantity and quality of nutrition, can also have great effects on behavioural development. The developmental processes generate behaviour in the individual cat which sometimes remains unchanged once formed and sometimes changes a great deal. Cats are also very adaptable and they seem to thrive in different environments which seems to explain the similarities as well as the differences that are found in cats living in different conditions. But cat behaviour sometimes is also seen as strange and unexplainable to us (although it probably makes perfect sense to them as they perceive the world differenty than we do). As therefore they can't express their thoughts and feelings through language that we understand then, they will still try to communicate with us sometimes in ways which are not always acceptable to many of us such as through spraying or inappropriate urination, scratching, loud vocalization, etc. In such cases cat carers will need to make the effort to try and see the world through their cats' eyes if they are to understand and appreciate the nature of these some times 'strange' and perhaps unacceptable behaviours. So if you think you have problems with your cat's behaviour we can help! (see OFTEN OCCURING CAT BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS page for more information).
