Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Not in a Grrrrr-eat Mood

Although cats are known for their vocal nature, there is one sound we typically don't associate with felines—growling. Just like dogs, cats can growl or even snarl on occasion. Cat growls serve as "warning" sounds, indicating their displeasure with something and may be accompanied by a hiss.

This behavior is often seen when a cat is unwilling to share its food, feeling territorial, or seeking to assert dominance. Cats may also growl if they feel scared, angry, or unwell.
