Cute cat who likes to climb

Hello friends, I hope you are fine, come back with me, this time I will share about cute cats who like to climb, here is the review.

Climbing to higher places is one of the activities that cats often do. Surely you often see cats on roofs or in other high places, and this has its own reasons.

Scientists have identified a cat ancestor called Proailurus from fossils found from the Oligocene period.

Proailurus, which means "early cat", lived about 25 million to 20 million years ago. This cat was a carnivore, like modern cats.

Fossils tell us that Proailurus was about two feet long and weighed about 10 pounds, which would make it only slightly larger than today's cats. Proailurus has a long tail and retractable claws.

These two physical characteristics make him better at climbing. The long tail provides balance and the claws help it cling to predators, trees and their branches.

Proailurus may stalk its prey from tree branches or other higher locations. Modern cats like to perch in high places because they can more easily see birds, rodents and other small animals that would be their main food source if they lived in the wild.

How to give cats vertical space to climb?

If a cat lives outside in the wild, there's a good chance they will spend a lot of time climbing in search of food. So, if you have a kitten climbing on you, don't be too surprised.

To satisfy this desire in modern cats, you can provide your cat with vertical space to climb such as cat trees, cat shelves, and other homemade devices that can provide cats with indoor vertical space to climb.

When indoor cats can climb whenever they want, it not only satisfies this ancient hunting instinct, but also helps them burn off energy. This may mean they won't climb your curtains or wake you up in the middle of the night if they're bored.

Cats can also become depressed, and having vertical space indoors can help prevent this. Although living a life indoors seems much safer and healthier than cats living outside, it means they miss out on many of the sights, and activities they would enjoy if they were outside.
