Why do cats sometimes exhibit behavior that seems like they're "playing" even when they're alone?
1 Answer
Cats sometimes exhibit behavior that seems like they're "playing" even when they're alone because they are natural hunters and are hard wired to practice their hunting skills. Even when there is no prey present, cats may still practice their hunting skills by stalking, chasing, and pouncing on objects. This behavior is a natural instinct for cats and can help to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
