Most breeds of cats like to climb high or sit in high positions. Animal behavior researchers have come up with a number of explanations for this, most commonly, “the altitude gives the cat a better point of view. From that position, they can monitor their kingdom and know all activities of humans as well as other animals. In the wild, an elevated position is also used as a hiding place for hunting. ” Therefore, height can also give a cat a sense of security and prestige.
However, this preference for heights can be a dangerous test of the general notion that a cat “always falls first”. The US Animal Protection Department has warned owners to keep an eye on dangerous locations in their homes to avoid “high climbing syndrome”, which can cause an overconfident cat to fall from a height. .
