I love attention, so don’t think that all cats are cold. Ok, I need to behave more dignified, but hey, I love it when my human pet pats and strokes me. Purrrrrrrr.

I’ll lift my chin and let her pat under it. I also like it when she strokes the side of my handsome face, and scratch at the base of my tail. Do you know I’m actually glad that she is helping me spread my power? Well, whenever people scratch me in that area, they are letting me mark them with my scent.

In addition, there are some other areas that are very sensitive to touch, so I get a lot of pleasure when I’m stroked in those areas. My skin is sensitive, and also my hairless pads. I need these to investigate things, especially when I go and catch my cockroaches for fun time. That allows me to know what is happening around in the wild.

I don’t like my paws to be touched, but a light massage between the paws is fine. I enjoy that. I want to have more massages. Ever heard of cat spa? Bring me there!

Now, my human pet is sometimes a little dumb. She doesn’t know that when my tail starts to flicker, I’m actually getting a little agitated. That’s when I scratch. Especially when I’m lying on my back and she is patting my underside, it sometimes can get irritating. But I’m just playing with her. I don’t care that I may hurt her. She should be more careful and watch my moods. I’ll walk out if she dares to reprimand me.

And as the saying goes, when we cats show our affection, sometimes we show it through nips and bites. It’s ok. Live with it! Ok, time for my cat massage.

Do you know why stray cats are territorial? Well, that’s because they don’t have enough food to eat, and a good enough place to live. It’s a cat-eat-cat world out there, so these strays have to fight. Thank goodness I’ve a human pet to take care of my needs.

Enough Food and Shelter
We need to have enough food, so if we have our human pets, we are usually well-fed. There’s no need to bother ourselves with becoming territorial.

Vying For Female in Season
Unfortunately, as a former He, I don’t need to bother about this. I don’t need to fight with other Tom cats so this is not a problem for me.

Dominance of Area
Many cats live in close proximity to each other, so apart from our own backyard, we don’t really need to worry about keeping other cats away.

As a result, we are more sociable now, and if any other cats wander into our territories, we will put up with them, or sometimes welcome them. As long as we are comfortable where we are, all our security, food and shelter requirements are being met without any action required on our part, we don’t need to be territorial.

Thus, human pets don’t need to worry about living near another cat owner. We won’t leave our scent all over people’s properties, and we won’t get into fights that regularly. Everybody’s happy then.

I had been busy all week. I had been spying on this cat in my neighbourhood. This fat cat dared to climb onto different cars at different times of the day. Let’s check out her activities.

First, it was a blue car.

Then, it was a silver car. This was on another occasion.

Finally, when I returned home after my romps, I saw her again!

I’m not sure whether it was marking its territory. Spraying is one way for us to mark our territory. A tomcat will stand tall and lift his rump high, tail erect and quivering and then spray something that is quite pungent. It’s different from emptying our bladder. Some cats actually spray up to 60 times an hour, especially in the farms.

Why do we cats spray? It’s to increase the area. If there is a strange smell, it means there is another cat. This area is declared his area. Well, usually only intact toms spray, but for neutered toms, the smell is not that bad.
