Why the cat so likes to rub about people and about surrounding subjects?

Thus the cat marks the objects which are in its terrain. It allows it to distinguish subsequently them and to feel confident a familiar situation.

For drawing of labels the cat uses the special temporal Ferri lactases located on either side of forehead between ears and eyes. Similar members are available also round labiums, more precisely, about their corners (perioral Ferri lactases). They excrete secrets which the cat abandons on doors, scalene перилов and furniture legs when rubs against them a head, such Ferri lactases are available as on a tail: they excrete as a similar secret which the cat puts, lifting a tail with a tube and driving it in the chosen subject. Ferri lactases can be found also round an anal aperture and, possibly, on cushions of pads.

Showing the favour to the person, the cat and on him abandons the labels, being rubbed about it a muzzle and a tail, is frequently loud thus мурча. Such behaviour - one of signs on attachment behaviour which kittens render to mother. Simultaneously the person about whom the cat rubs, is identified as a part of its terrain.

Whether cats are artful?

The one who longly lived with a cat under one roof, knows its habits. And the person who does not have cat, coming to the house where it is, quite often does not perceive its behaviour: that she intends to make, to that prefers, and that does not like.

For example, the cat hardly probable will allow another's person of to stroke, and if it appears is too persevering, can even start unguises. But it never will make it without the prevention: before showing the teeth, will hiss, having pressed ears to a head. Skilled кошатник never will approach the first to an unfamiliar cat, he will allow to it to resemble around, to look at itself(himself) and only then will cautiously stretch an arm that the animal could smell it. If the person has liked a cat, it will approach more close and will curve a back, permitting itself to stroke.

The cat welcomes the familiar person in an especially way. Highly having lifted a tail, it hurries to it as soon as will catch sight on a threshold, loudly purrs, rubs a nose and sides about feet and sometimes even becomes on hinder legs that it have stroked. And has then a seat somewhere in a corner and strikes root to lick itself.

Such ritual of a greeting is necessary for an exchange of odours. On височках and in corners of a mouth of a cat there are Ferri lactases developing odorous material which it distributes on all coat. When the cat rubs about a foot abandons on it the odour and simultaneously accepts an odour of the owner. And when then licks itself catches this odour more clearly. Our rasping noses hardly can catch that the similar. Familiar cats rub a wool and lick each other, too exchanging at this odours. For a cat who lives in the world of odours, sense of smell plays very important role.

Very often happens, that the cat slightly bites through caressing her hand. It is a friendship sign, and many accept it irregular. The person can even become angry about a cat as it so is unexpected, and at times and is sick. But the cat at all not wishing to offend - biting, it abandons on our "wool" (the cat after all is assured, that it too is available for us) the saliva and thus once again marks «».

It is considered, that it too accepts the "" person for a cat and expresses it the behaviour similar to how the kitten concerns mum. Here a typical example: the cat has cosy settled down in a lap at the owner and moves that left the right pad as though slightly masses or rumples something. It is not pleasant to much, because she shows the teeth, which pierce a dress or a trouser-leg and scratch a skin. The solution is simple: earlier the kitten made similar locomotions when ate milk from a mum's papilla. Experts in behaviour of animals, have named this action by "a milk walk». To adult cats of memoirs on mum's milk are very pleasant. Therefore the cat will begin to worry, if during this moment to drive it from the knees, after all the ironing arm called too sensation, as a uvula of mum-cat which once licked a kitten.
