House Cats

An example of how house cats are "naturally" meant to behave is to observe feral domestic cats, which are social enough to form colonies. Each cat in a colony holds a distinct territory, with sexually active males with larger territories, and neutered cats having the smallest. Between these territories are "neutral" areas where cats watch and greet each other without territorial conflicts. Outside these neutral areas, territory holders usually aggressively chase away stranger cats, at first staring, hissing, and growling, and if that fails, attacks by short but noisy and violent.

Despite cohabitation in colonies, cats do not have a social survival strategy, or a "pack mentality". This mainly means that an individual cat takes care of all basic needs on their own (for example, find food and defend themselves), and thus cats are always lone hunters, but do not hunt in groups as dogs or lions do . (There is a case that cats are "clean" animals, the chemistry of their saliva, consumed during the frequent grooming, appears to be a natural deodorant In this case, the function of this cleaning is to decrease the possibility of an animal of prey, one will notice. cat's presence in time.

Instead, the smell of the dog is an advantage in the hunt for a dog is a pack hunter, part of the pack stations itself upwind, and its odor drives prey towards the rest of the pack stationed downwind. This requires a cooperative effort, which in turn requires communications skills. No such communications skills are required of a lone hunter.) ......
