10 things cats like to do

• Cats like to sleep. Daily durations of sleep vary, usually 12-16 hours, with 13-14 being the average.
• Cats love high places and like to climb. Most of them have a noted fondness for settling in high places or perching. Height gives the cat a better observation point, allowing it to survey its “territory” and become aware of activities of people and other pets in the area. Height, therefore, can also give cats a sense of security and prestige.
  
• Most cats enjoy being petted and held. They are like to be stroked on their forehead, between the ears and also like to be skritched under the chin and along the throat. They are happy to be loved. Your cats love you and can read your moods. If you’re under stress, you may also notice a difference in your cat’s behavior.
• Cats love to chew on grass, catnip, parsley or sage. Become a green thumb and plant an indoor garden for your cat! But be careful, many plants are toxic to your cat.
• Cats love to do groom themselves by licking their fur, employing their hooked papillae and saliva. There’s no doubt that cats are self-cleaning. They spend about one-third their waking hours grooming themselves.
• Cats like to hunt. By nature, cats are superb hunters who enjoy stalking their prey. Even well-fed cats like your cat will hunt and kill birds, mice, rats and other small animals in the vicinity.
