Is my cat's behavior normal?

Most owners can tell you what abnormal behavior their cat has; not using the litter box, aggression, etc.

Most people struggle to tell me what normal cat behavior is. Sometimes we become too focused on abnormal cat behavior we fail to realize what is normal?

Things like cats taking naps all day and all night are normal.

Cats eating small meals is normal. Cats usually eat 10-20 grams per sitting, about the same size of a mouse!

Most cats do cover their feces in the litter box, but some don't. This isn't abnormal, some cats just never learned to cover their feces.

For a better discussion of normal versus abnormal cat behavior check out this cat book.

Thanks,

Luke
