TED-ED: Why do cats act so weird? - Tony Buffington

Cats exhibit a range of entertaining and strange behaviors due to their evolution as both predators and prey. These behaviors, such as climbing, hunting, and purring, are instinctual and have been developed over millions of years. Cats like Grizmo display these traits even in domestic settings, reflecting their wild ancestry. Their actions, from claw sharpening to hiding, are survival strategies. Purring remains a mysterious behavior, potentially linked to healing. Understanding these instincts helps explain why cats act the way they do, viewing our homes as their jungles.
