Survival Instinct-make it work for you
A cat´s motivation for most of his behaviors and actions is based on self survival and species survival. Catering to this instinct will create a more harmonious relationship with you and your cat.
Toys should be designed to satisfy the need to hunt and kill food. A cat´s enviroment should have places to run, jump, climb and hide. Kitty should have a safe and secure place to nap.
Playing with your cat will mimic the pride´s cooperative effort in hunting and killing. Spending quiet time with your cat will mimic the affectionate bonding at the end of a hard day. ´Sharing´ food (ie feeding them at the same time every day) will mimic the feast at the end of a hunt.
Understand that you are a part of your cat´s pride/den/family, and the more you mimic feline behaviors, the more your cat will bond with you, and try very hard to please you.
