Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Boss Cats

Despite their smaller size, there are instances when our pet cats seem to take charge and assert their dominance. So, why are some cats so bossy or dominant? It turns out that most bossy behavior stems from inadequate socialization, territorial instincts, or occasionally male-on-male aggression.

This dominance can manifest as toy stealing, rubbing or spraying to mark territory, exhibiting jealousy, attacking other cats, or demanding food and attention. Fortunately, these behaviors can be corrected by establishing healthy boundaries, seeking guidance from a cat behaviorist, and asserting our own authority!
