Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Secure Your Belongings

It's a common scenario for pet owners: you move the sofa, and suddenly an assortment of items emerges—hair ties, rubber bands, and cat toys. But why do cats take pleasure in stealing objects and stashing them away?

Experts believe that many of these "klepto kitties" do so out of boredom. Stealing and hiding objects are instinctual behaviors associated with hunting, and they provide an avenue for play and attention-seeking. Increasing playtime and environmental enrichment can help alleviate this behavior. If cats are targeting food items, they may require more frequent feeding throughout the day.
