Understanding Feline Behavior: Decode Your Cat’s Quirks (Woof & Meow,Toronto Edition)

At Woof & Meow Toronto | Etobicoke, we know our feline friends are full of surprises. From mysterious purrs to the infamous midnight zoomies, cats have unique ways of communicating with us. If you’ve ever scratched your head wondering what your cat’s behaviour means, this blog is for you. Let’s dive into the secret world of cats—and how Woof & Meow’s cat-sitting services can help keep them happy while you’re away.

Why Do Cats Purr?

Most pet parents think purring means their cat is happy—and often, that’s true! But cats also purr when they’re anxious or in pain. It’s their way of self-soothing and signaling comfort or distress. When your cat’s purring feels off, like when they’re hiding or acting differently, it might be time to check in with a vet. And if you need someone to keep an eye on them while you’re busy, our cat-sitting services are here to help.

The Midnight Zoomies

Does your cat suddenly sprint across the house at 3 a.m., knocking over everything in their path? That’s your kitty unleashing their inner wild cat! Cats are natural hunters, and without enough stimulation during the day, their instincts take over at night. Our local cat sitters know how to keep your cat entertained with personalized playtime sessions, helping burn off that extra energy.

Kneading: Why Your Cat Is Making Biscuits

Kneading isn’t just a quirky cat behavior—it’s their way of showing they feel safe and comfortable. If your kitty loves kneading your lap, take it as the highest compliment! But if the claws are a bit too much, keep their nails trimmed or have a blanket handy. When you’re away, our team ensures your feline feels just as comfy and secure as when you’re home.

Tail Talk: What Your Cat’s Tail Is Telling You

Your cat’s tail movements are like a language, and understanding it can help you better connect with them:

• Tail straight up = Happy and confident

• Puffed-up tail = Scared or threatened

• Low tail = Nervous or unsure

Our professional cat sitters are experts in reading these subtle signals, ensuring your pet feels at ease when you’re away.

Why Cats Love Boxes

You buy your cat the perfect bed, but they cram themselves into a shoebox instead. Cats love small spaces because they make them feel safe—an instinct from their wild ancestors. At Woof & Meow, we bring that same sense of safety to your home when caring for your cat. Whether they’re hiding in a box or lounging in their favourite spot, we ensure they feel secure and loved.
