Most cats do not want to have a companion. Cats are solitary animals. If someone of the same kind suddenly appears, there may be fights between cats. Cats spend most of their time sleeping, and they are happiest when they can sleep peacefully without being disturbed. After waking up, he will lick his fur, eat and drink water by himself, so he will not feel lonely.

Why are cats born independent?

1. The soul of a cat is independent

Tracing back to the ancestors of cats, they hunt small animals such as birds and mice in a one-to-one hunting mode. , they can survive on their own without relying on the strength of a group, so they are solitary and are loners in nature, thus forming a lonely, independent and arrogant character of cats that are not easy to cooperate. At the same time, cats have been domesticated for a short time and their domestication level is low. Their self-centered character has not been changed by human intervention. Generally, when a cat reaches about 6 months old, it can completely leave its mother cat and become self-reliant. They think they can handle everything, they can protect themselves, they can manage themselves.

So when we cut nails, bathe, and brush teeth for them, they cannot associate these behaviors with their own health, so they often refuse to cooperate.

2. Cats can live well even if they live alone

Cats’ personalities and living habits are very similar to humans, and they also have independent lifestyles.

1) Each cat needs its own resources that are not shared with others, including food, water and resting space. They like to have a room all to themselves, and just as we don't like sharing with unfamiliar people, they also hate sharing private areas with other cats.

2) Whether the living environment of domestic cats is good will directly affect whether they can coexist peacefully. Therefore, cats in families with more than two cats can stay in the same family together because they find ways to avoid each other through territorial distribution. Nowadays, the small living space in cities makes cats constantly patrol their territory. When they feel that other cats are invading their territory, cats will become irritable and depressed.

3. A cat’s social circle is to draw a circle around itself

Although cats are independent souls, they also need social interaction. The stage when cats need socialization most occurs when they are young. In cats, and into adulthood, their socialization is usually when they are in heat.

Adult cats avoid interaction with each other most of the time and do not like actual physical conflicts. If there is no need to compete for resources or territory, they will stagger themselves. Friendly socialization usually occurs in one-on-one cats. They have a pair of noses that do not touch each other. If the initial communication is friendly, they will allow other cats to smell their anus.

Sometimes stray cats in an area will gather at the same place at a fixed time. They will be in a place where they can see each other but are slightly apart., sat quietly for a while and then left one after another, as if they were holding a mysterious meeting.
