Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years. We often heard that cats have nine lives. The myth is attributed to the natural agility and swiftness cats exhibits to escape life-threatening situations. We also observe that falling cats frequently lands on their feet. It is because of the inbuilt automatic twisting reaction that enables them to twist their body around to land feet first.

Cat lovers all over the world know that cat’s loves to scratch. This natural behavior allows them to mark their territory, exercise their legs and clean and sharpen their claws. Scratching posts are provided to indoor cats so that they won’t ruin carpets or furniture. Cat jungle gyms are also produced to help cats expend their energy there and not on other furniture. Scratching can be reduced and eliminated by disciplining the cat. Since cats are repelled by the scent of citrus and bitter apple, a quick spritz from bottled water might do the trick.
