Behavior in Cats.

Cats learn feline behaviors during the weaning  period. The mother cat and other older members of  the litter play an important role in this natural  learning process. It is during this period that they  understand to play, stalk, kill prey and most of all,  explore and investigate new objects. This is also the time that they learn that they should not bite hard enough to hurt.

Cats that have not had the opportunity to socialize enough during the early period are most likely to become more nervous and indulge in aggressive behaviors, much to the annoyance of the owners

Inherently, a cat gets accustomed to new surroundings easily.  However, generations of breeding friendly cats has resulted in the suppression of the inherent feral trait of  caution.This has led to a lack of self confidence in cats. Like most animals, cats are also wary of unfamiliar noises. The daily whirring sound of a vacuum cleaner can also lead to nervousness and fearful hiding. Nervousness limits her natural tendency to investigate the disturbance and get familiar to the noise.
