Cats are more social creatures than most people believe. They are just a product of their environment like everyone else.

What people don’t understand is that have a very strong pack mentality. They tend to stick with their people or other cats and don’t care much for outsiders. People see other’s cats and see these animals that want nothing to do with them and assume the cat acts that way with everyone. But anyone who actually has cats can tell you they are attached to you like extra limbs. When I’m home mine are rarely more then a foot away from me if their not just on me.

Yep, my cat follows me around like a shadow most days and is very sweet, but if unfamiliar people show up, she immediately hides.

Mine will immediately go on top of the fridge to scout out what the strangers are doing. Then he’ll fall asleep up there.

After bringing my boy home and doing a transition to meet our dog, the first place he went was on top of the fridge. It scared the hell out of me because I couldn't find him for about 20 minutes. Now I know it's because there is a vent that blows directly on it, and he loves it especially in the winter.

One of my cats runs and hides under the blankets in my bedroom if a stranger comes to the door or enters the house.

The other is friendlier than a puppy—loves all people and asks for attention immediately.
