Cats Stares At Shiny Floor

The effects of aging.

Cats stares at shiny floor. What may look like your cat staring at the wall may actually be your cat listening to something that you can t hear. If you go out the room turn lights off and then come back in a while later she s in the same spot. Many cat owners assume this is a clear sign that the cat isn t interested in the food. As they age cats often suffer a decline in functioning including their cognitive functioning.

Many people have detected rodents in their walls or in their attics after their cats would sit in a specific spot and seem to stare through the plaster. Before or after your kitten or cat eats or drinks it may paw scratch or knead the floor as if it is digging or burying something. It s estimated that cognitive decline referred to as feline cognitive dysfunction or fcd affects more than 55 of cats aged 11 to 15 years and more than 80 of cats aged 16 to 20 years. This assumption is inaccurate.

In fact your pet is demonstrating an instinct shared even by the big cats and it is a very positive sign that it is feeling at home in your house. A common mistake cat owners make is that when their cat swipes their paw on the floor around their food dish they think that they are covering up the food like they would their poop in a litter box. Your cat isn t necessarily a pest control expert however. Staring may be rude in human society but in the animal world it conveys many different messages.

For the last 2 nights the cat won t leave the kitchen and she sits staring at the floor. There s nothing wrong with your cat.
