If your cat frequently grabs you when you walk by, you may be the cause of their anger. This behavior could indicate that your cat is angry about something, like a recent event, or it may simply be a reaction to the fact that you‚re walking by them. Whatever the case, the best way to deal with the behavior is to find the cause of the cat‚s anger, and then minimize the situation.
Your cat may mistake your actions for something else
As a pet owner, you may have noticed your cat misbehaving when you‚re not around. Sometimes, your cat might bite objects or knock them over, while other times, he or she may simply move away from you, head cocked, or body slack. In either case, your cat may be mistaking your actions for something else. In addition to misbehaving when you‚re away, your cat may also exhibit other unwanted behaviors.
You may be trying to play with your cat
If you notice your cat running from the door to the window or pouncing at you when you walk by, it may be trying to play with you. Cats are natural-born predators, so they are constantly on the lookout for prey. They are quick to grab your toy and try to grab it away from you, so be sure to keep your distance from them. Cats should be able to catch you fairly easily if you make loud noises.
Some cat owners don‚t question this behavior because they‚re used to it. Their cats may stand on them when they‚re asleep or after a large meal. They may even stand on a wall for the same reason – to stay warm. However, you shouldn‚t be surprised if your cat does it at odd times. The cat might have heard something in the wall that made it want to sit on you.
Cats will walk in front of people, but they never do it deliberately. It‚s an instinct, and it‚s an excellent way to gain attention. Cats will zigzag in front of you to attract your attention or herd you in a specific direction. A cat with separation anxiety may try to block you from leaving the house. Alternatively, a playful cat might try to chase you and bite your ankles. Whatever the reason, the goal is to get your attention, and a cat‚s body language will tell you exactly what they need.
You may be able to tell if your cat is playing when you notice a little bit of fur on your fingers. Cats are naturally curious and may not be afraid of humans. The key to establishing a relationship is not to force them to play, but rather to let them initiate it. Remember, cats are unique, so don‚t force it. They want to be with their pet parent and show their affection by interacting with other people.
