Feline Behavior Science

Dive into the peer-reviewed science behind your cat’s most puzzling behaviors. This category decodes feline actions—from chirping at birds to midnight zoomies—through the lens of evolutionary biology and modern ethology. Each article traces specific behaviors (like kneading or slow-blinking) to their wildcat origins (Felis lybica*), supported by DNA studies, fMRI research, and wildlife observations. Discover how 10,000 years of domestication reshaped—but never erased—your cat’s predatory programming, and learn science-backed strategies to enrich their indoor lives while honoring their wild roots. Ideal for curious cat owners who crave deeper understanding beyond anecdotal advice.
