Have you ever watched your cat do something and wondered why cats do that? Well, you’re not alone! Cats are mysterious creatures but animal experts continue to make discoveries for better understanding them. We’re here to explain some common cat behaviors that tend to make their humans wonder.
Why do cats knead/make biscuits?
If you have ever seen your kitty rhythmically pressing their paws in and out on your lap, this behavior is called kneading or making biscuits. You may think they are attacking you with those razor-like claws, but what they are more likely saying is, “I trust you and I feel safe”. Researchers believe that this is a juvenile behavior that serves as a way for a kitten to communicate with their mama. They knead on her belly to stimulate milk production. Since being domesticated, many kitties retain this kitten-like behavior into adulthood and associate it with the same comfort they received from their mom. It is also possible that cats knead for more simple, relatable reasons, like stretching.
Purring may be how a cat keeps their muscles and bones healthy while napping.
Why do cats purr?
Cats purr when they are content, in pain, giving birth, or even dying. Scientists speculate that purring may be a built-in physical therapy to keep their muscles, tendons, and bones healthy through sound! In the 1990s, Dr. Clinton Reuben of the state university in NY discovered that exposure to low-level frequencies in the range of cat purring helps build bone density and may promote healing. Bone density and muscle loss are serious issues for astronauts in zero gravity, so cat purring could be the answer to keeping the human body healthy in space! Many species of wildcats purr, including the cheetah. However, big cats like lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards do not purr because of how their voice boxes are modified so they can roar.
Why do cats lick you?
Cats lick for a few different reasons. It could signal that they are not getting enough salt or hydration. Apart from raising a red flag healthwise, licking could be a leftover kitten behavior like kneading. Mama cats lick to groom and communicate affection simultaneously, so adult kitties only carry out this behavior with individuals they deem trustworthy. If your cat is excessively licking, it may be a sign of stress or anxiety.
Why do cats meow?
From as young as one week old, kittens start meowing to get their mamas to take notice. Meowing is rarely heard in wild cat populations, except occasionally when mama cats are communicating with their kittens but they generally grow out of it when they get older. However, cats that live with humans, learn that meowing is a great way to get our attention so domestic kitties retain this kitten behavior with some even developing a “private language” of meows with their owners. Cat breeds that are notoriously chatty are the Siamese, the Oriental Shorthair, the Burmese, the Sphynx, and the Japanese Bobtail.
Why do cats sleep so much?
Scientists still don’t totally understand all of the underlying benefits of a good night’s sleep, whether in humans or animals, so it is hard to say why cats seem to be constantly in rest mode. Cats generally don’t sleep in one big chunk. They likely have many shorter rest periods throughout the day combined with intense bursts of energy. In terms of evolutionary biology, cats need a lot of sleep to conserve their energy for stalking, chasing, pouncing, climbing, and running while on the hunt. However, cats may also sleep out of boredom or mental health reasons. If your cat suddenly sleeps longer than usual, get in touch with your veterinarian. Senior kitties tend to sleep more than younger kitties.
Why do cats eat grass?
Eating plants is a common behavior for cats. Scientists suspect that eating plants is instinctual. It may also come with an evolutionary benefit for kitty-kind, helping them expel internal parasites, hairballs and perhaps gain micronutrients. To allow your kitty to express this innate desire to eat plants, we recommend growing or buying nonpoisonous plants. If your cat throws up afterward, at least you can have peace of mind knowing it will be safe for them, and they aren’t doing it just to make a mess.
Why do cats have whiskers?
Men might grow facial hair to cultivate a specific look or style, but a cat’s whiskers have nothing to do with fashion! These stiff hairs function as sensory tools to help a cat detect an object’s location, size, and texture, even in the dark, and help them steer clear of approaching danger. Whiskers are especially useful for helping a cat know whether they can fit into a tight space and can even detect subtle shifts in air currents. Whiskers can also provide insight into how a cat is feeling. For example, pulled back or tight whiskers can indicate a tense kitty, while relaxed whiskers indicate a content kitty.
Why do cats hate water?
Not all cats hate water, some breeds like the Aegean Cat, Bengal, and Maine Coon love to swim and dip their paws in the water. Apart from those breeds, perhaps many kitties don’t like water because it is unfamiliar. They are meticulous groomers, so they are unlikely to be introduced to water early in life and are not used to being wet. As a pet parent, if you regularly expose your cat to water from an early age, they may be more accepting of it. Domesticated kitties are descendants of felines that typically live in the desert, so there was perhaps no evolutionary need to learn how to swim.
Why do cats like catnip?
Some cats exhibit strange behavior when encountering catnip, much like a female cat in heat! They may rub up against or jump onto the herb, vocalize and drool. Recent studies suggest cats may rub against catnip for its insect repelling properties. Response to catnip is hereditary; it is controlled by a single gene that only about two-thirds of cats carry. Catnip does not affect kittens until they reach six months of age and begin to reach sexual maturity. Many cat species have this reaction to the herb, including lions, tigers, leopards, and lynxes. Even today, a cat’s response to catnip is a bit of a mystery, and we don’t fully understand it.
Why do cats like boxes?
Cats enjoy well-protected snug spaces, especially when they intend to sleep. A cardboard box seems to fit the bill for many cats. Why some seem to prefer boxes that are too small for them is a bit of an enigma.

Hairball Support for all cats
Did you know that your furkiddo spends 30% of their waking life grooming? And because of their natural habit, they tend to swallow a lot of hair! Long haired cat breeds like Main Coons, Persians, and Ragdolls are more likely to develop hairballs than their short-haired meow-sins; however, all cats can get them. If the ingested hair cannot get past your kitty's stomach and small intestine, then a hairball will form. NHV Hairball Control Kit contains Hairb-Ez, which helps to dissolve hair buildup, soothe inflammation along the GI tract and improve the motility of undigested matter, while Milk Thistle helps with detoxification, reducing oxidative stress on the liver, and supporting healthy kidney/gallbladder function.
How NHV Remedies Supports Digestive Health and Hairball Control
The hacking sound of your kitty retching is pretty unpleasant to witness for any pet parent, but hairballs are a side effect of your cat's constant grooming. Suppose your furry friend is throwing up a hairball more than once a month. In that case, there may be something more serious going on like intestinal motility problems, skin issues, abdomen issues, urinary tract problems, or musculoskeletal concerns. When your kitty is grooming, their tongue is barbed (like a miniature brush), moving loose hair down their throat. Typically, this ingested hair passes through their GI tract and into their litter box. Sometimes, however, the hair can get stuck in their stomach, and they throw this up as hairballs. Hairballs become a problem when your kitty's digestive system can't move the hair through the stomach and intestinal tract at an average speed, leading to a possible blockage and issues with other organs. NHV Hairball Control Kit contains Hairb-Ez and Milk Thistle to help support your kitty's digestive health, organ health and to help pass hairballs naturally.
- Can help dissolve ingested hairballs
- Helps with discomfort and nausea
- May help relieve indigestion and malabsorption
- Aid in soothing inflammation and improving peristalsis along GI tract
- Can relieve bowel spasms and help to remove waste from body
- Can support healthy immunity
- Can help support gentle detoxification
- May support liver regeneration and reducing oxidative stress
- Beneficial for healthy kidney/gallbladder function
Hairball Control Kit is a natural healthcare support that aids with dissolving hairballs, improving GI tract health as well as support detoxification and immune function. These liquid supplements with high bioavailability are safe and effective to use alongside other hairball treatments.

These multivitamins for cats will ensure your kitty (of any age) is getting an extra dose of minerals and vitamins for extra energy, vitality, and health.
The health benefits of multivitamins aren’t just for humans. Cats have many of the same nutrient needs as we do, and some need even more than others depending on their age and health.
A multivitamin supplies the vital nutrients your kitty needs to be healthy and to fight off potential health problems. Dr. Cook, DVM, CVA in her blog states that vitamins “help to regulate the body processes, protect the body from environmental toxins, and break down nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats so the body can utilize them”.
The best way to give your cat vitamins and minerals are from whole food sources and not just isolated synthetic vitamins. NHV Multi Essentials contains a powerful blend of alfalfa, oat, dandelion, kelp, parsley, marshmallow, chickweed, stinging nettle, Asian ginseng, yucca and Oregon grape.
