Cats are supposed to have some kind of instinct, aren't they? Tania, for example, is Zoe's sister and she really acts like a normal cat. She likes to hunt the little toys in the house, she sleeps where she can see everything, etc. However, Zoe is always acting strange.
She won't lick the water, even in her small bowl she'd rather put her paws in it and then lick it. When she's done eating or drinking, she'll do the same as when she done going in the litt, she'll try to "cover" her food and water, by rubbing the air around her bowls (???). Since her bowls are in stainless steel, she often makes noise in the middle of the night for about 5 minutes, trying to hide her food. Also, she won't fight with her sister, she'll just stand there while the other attacks her and then whine if it hurts. When I change the litter, she can play for half an hour in it, scraching it, rubbing her noise in the fresh litt and even laying on it. Plus, she never sits, lays or clean like a cat. She's always in weird and non-elegant positions that would fit more to a little puppy than a cat! She often falls down of where she's standing and rather sleep on a piece of paper than on a more comfortable place.
So, I'm wondering, any of your cats have some "instinct failure" like this or does Zoe have a problem?
I find it really cute most of the time and I really love her, so as long as it's not a health problem, she can be as she want!
