How to Comfort a Scared Cat

Cats are not fans of doing things just because. They are actually very deliberate animals that do everything they do with a sense of purpose and a fulfilling nature. They’re not as ‘bad’ as we like to think they are with their antisocial behaviors and their annoying decisions to play in the middle of the night. Cats are not all that bad and we can tell you that with good authority (because the vet said so, really). If you feel that your cat exhibits his fair share of bad behavior, don’t be discouraged just yet. It might not be as bad as you think. In fact, some of your cat’s bad behavior might actually be behavior you should encourage – but redirect. That’s right; you can redirect bad behavior that’s not actually bad into something more appropriate in a very universal manner. It’s easy, it’s stress-free and it’s going to make both you and your cat feel a little better about life. Here are the behaviors you should be encouraging your ‘bad’ cat to continue.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth.

Sometimes referred to as making biscuits, kneading is a peculiar behavior in cats. The feline extends out their paws and draws their digits back and forth as if they were a baker kneading bread. They do it on many different surfaces, but usually those that are soft and give some resistance. These can be their bed, blankets or even the belly of their guardian, although some stomachs may be softer than others. This curious behavior is not something which should alarm us and many of us find it quite endearing, as long as they don't use their claws too much. Although many of us enjoy the bonding experience it can provide, we don't necessarily know why cats knead our belly.
