why does my cat act young2007-11-25 12:31:27

my cat is 3 years old and acts like shes 2 mouths shes cute i don't care whatever but does that happen to your cats

Answers:

Here's a theory that I heard on a documentary about cats. in a feral setting, cats will play as kittens to learn how to hunt and defend themselves. As they grow, they have to get serious about it in order to feed themselves and survive. Since we take care of our babies and keep them fed, they never have to hunt or defend themselves from predators, and they never grow up! They mentally remain kittens and just play because it is fun. Enjoy! Play with your kitty often, and she will always stay young.

Don't forget. the life expectancy of a strictly indoor pet cat is nearly THREE TIMES that of a pet cat that is permitted outdoors! Keep Kitty inside and keep her safe, she will thank you by living a long and happy life with you!

I have a 7 yr old female that still acts that way! I'm glad she does - it's fun!

That's normal. Actually, one of the evolutionary traits of domesticated animals is that they retain their kitten/puppy behaviour longer than non-domesticated cats(lions/tigers etc.) and dogs(wolves) and other animals.

It's normal.. my 8 year old cat behaves the same way. hahahaha. And cats love to play. so remember to take time to play with them. keeps them happy and healthy :)

Yes my cat does act young. I think he is going through that young and stupid stage, that he will hopefully grow out of. He has started smoking, drinking, staying out all night partying, looking for some other p ussy and just hanging out with the bad crowd.

When my last cat was over 10 she slept a lot, but would still go out of her mind for something on elastic or a piece of string. It's nice when they play. Means we're keeping them happy.
