Head lowers and moves forward... "maybe a mouse?'


When I see something that really really interests me, my head goes forward and lower. Something small and moving makes me do this, because it might just be a mouse. 

This isn't just an idle gaze, it is an intensely involved look. Sometimes if the object is high up, then the head looks high up too but it often moves lower than my shoulder first. Like the photo above. 

It is a quick instinctive movement which most dumb humans don't notice. Or if they do notice it, they don't really take it in.

But watch me! If I am sitting looking idly out of the window, and something important catches my eye, this is what I do. That something usually arouses my hunting instinct, but it occasionally happens if the something is an unexpected kitten. See that on my Youtube channel below. 

(Yes, I know it says it is Celia's channel but it is obviously mine because there are so many cats in it.)

Help for cats whose humans show behaviour problems.

This blog is devoted to the study of human behaviour. We cats, who live with this sometimes unpredictable and always feeble minded species, can benefit from seeing their behaviour in its proper scientific context. The study of feline dilemmas, training problems, and difficulties with humans, can only benefit all of us. All of us train our humans - to buy the right food, for instance, but many of us do not have knowledge of how to improve our training methods. The human species is obviously not as intelligent as the cat, but nevertheless can learn quite a lot - if properly managed. Topics of interest include the use of claw and order, purring as a human reward, rubbing your human up the right way, when to bite, spraying as a method of making our wishes known, ignoring the human, human harassment, human inattention and sheer human stupidity. I welcome your questions. Photos can be sent via my secretary's website, www.celiahaddon.com This blog has been chosen as one of the top 50 feline blogs by Online VetTechprogramms.org
