Cat's Behaviour
Hi all. I am just a bit curious about something my
cat does and have seen my previous cats do. When startled they would turn sideways, hunch their backs and hop backwards. I'm wondering if it has something to do with instinctive defense. Thanks, James |

My cat's 8 years old and still does this on occassion. It seems to be the same as when a dog drops onto it's elbows, "I wanna Play!", and is usually followed by much running and jumping around. jmc usenet [at] jodi [dit] ws Any day you learn something isn't a total waste. |

We had a cat at the shelter who did that all the time; we nicknamed him "Sideways"! Phil |
