Hello and welcome to the Cat Behavior Explained website! Are you amused, bemused or plain aggravated by your cat's behavior? Do you want to find out what on earth is going on in that pointy-eared head? Good - you've come to the right place...

I've been owned by a lot of cats over the last 20 years, and for three of those years I worked and lived in a cat rescue shelter. Kitty behavior is a very broad subject which often leaves mere mortals totally baffled. But - I've come to realize it can be understood.

Bad behavior often gets the most attention because it's so frustrating. So, let's start by taking a light-hearted look at some of the common problems that bewildered cat lovers face:

Litter Box Problems
Peeing Cat treats your home like a great big litter box, and unfortunately it's starting to smell like one...

Aggression
Angry Cat switches from Jekyll to Hyde in less time than it takes you to say "cat bites." An unpredictable time bomb with deadly claws and teeth.

Excessive Meowing
Singing Cat dreams of winning American Idol, so she practices non-stop. She knows she's got talent, regardless of what you or the neighbors say.

Furniture Scratching
Shredder Cat is on a mission...to turn your home into a hovel with her perfectly manicured claws.

Do any of these sound familiar? Joking aside, bad cat behavior is a serious headache for many owners. If it's not dealt with, it results in an angry, frustrated owner and a miserable cat.

The good news is that it is possible to change your cat's behavior for the better, without the need for a serious stand-off. The know-how to do this is all here and there's loads of other information too:
