19. Chirping at Insects
Cats often make chirping or excited sounds when observing insects or small prey. This behavior may mimic the sound of prey, reflecting their hunting instincts. Chirping can also express frustration at being unable to catch the target, particularly if it’s behind a window.
This behavior is a fascinating display of their predatory nature, showing how deeply ingrained their instincts are. Providing interactive play with toys that mimic prey can help satisfy their hunting drives and redirect their energy.
