Cats are one of the primary causes of the decline and extinction of many Australian native species over the last 200 years, including species of hopping-mice, small rodents, hare-wallaby, bettong, bandicoot and several species of birds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-do-feral-cats-do-all-day\"><\/span>What do feral cats do all day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition, the feral cats&#39; daily activity patterns\u2014sleeping during the day and being active at night, which likely reflects the behavior of their prey, small mammals, as well as lets them better avoid humans\u2014was very different from kitties with homes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-eats-a-feral-cat\"><\/span>What eats a feral cat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kittens and juvenile feral cats may be preyed upon by: foxes. dingoes. reptiles.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-a-feral-cat-become-a-house-pet\"><\/span>Can a feral cat become a house pet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Adult feral cats are not socialized to people, which means they cannot be adopted to indoor homes. As a result, they are likely to be killed if picked up by animal control or brought to shelters, so it is in their best interest to continue living outdoors.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-it-mean-when-a-feral-cat-meows-at-you\"><\/span>What does it mean when a feral cat meows at you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are actually a number of reasons. Cats meow as a way of greeting you, to demand attention, to ask for food, to be let inside or outside, to find a mate (for cats who are not fixed), or if they are elderly and suffering from mental confusion, such as a result of the cat version of Alzheimer&#39;s Disease.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-it-mean-when-a-stray-cat-rubs-against-you\"><\/span>What does it mean when a stray cat rubs against you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cats have scent glands around their cheeks, chin, top of their head, and base of their tail.

Siamese. Although Siamese cats are one of the most popular cat breeds, it&#39;s general consensus that they are also the meanest\u2014that&#39;s why they landed as #1 on this list.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-girl-cats-have-periods\"><\/span>Do girl cats have periods?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Female cats do, in fact, go through a monthly cycle, but their &#34;periods&#34; are quite different from human menstruation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-cats-left-or-right-handed\"><\/span>Are cats left or right handed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Overall, 39&#37; of cats were right-pawed, 36&#37; were left-pawed, and 25&#37; had no preference. Thus, cats have almost the same chance of being left- or right-pawed, unlike humans who have a 90&#37; chance of being right-handed and a 10&#37; chance of being left-handed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-cats-grieve\"><\/span>Do cats grieve?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When a cat loses a companion, whether animal or human, she most certainly grieves and reacts to the changes in her life. Cats alter their behavior when they mourn much like people do: They may become depressed and listless. They may have a decreased appetite and decline to play.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-is-more-intelligent-a-cat-or-a-dog\"><\/span>Which is more intelligent a cat or a dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dogs, it turns out, have about twice the number of neurons in their cerebral cortexes than what cats have, which suggests they could be about twice as intelligent.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-cats-love-their-owners\"><\/span>Do cats love their owners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The International Cat Association (TICA) President Vicki Jo Harrison is very confident that felines are most likely very affectionate to their owners, despite their &#34;bad rap.&#34; She told Newsweek: &#34;Despite their independent nature and aloof stereotype, cats feel love quite strongly for their owners and other companions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-cats-prefer-females\"><\/span>Do cats prefer females?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to a new study, cats experience the greatest fondness for female owners.
