Persian cats may resort to excessive meowing or other annoying behaviors to catch the owner's attention. They are not usually as vocal, but you know if you hear a meow from your cat at the crack of dawn that it is time to put out some food. When owners do not respond to the meowing, the cat automatically learns that meowing is pointless and looks for an alternative way to grab their attention. Needless to say, make sure everything is in place before disciplining your cat's meowing tendencies. We know that its hard to fight the temptation to pick up the furry creature when you hear its little meows, but it will soon catch on to your gullibility to their cuteness and for treats!



Paw kneading in Persian cats is their way of saying that they are happy or extremely nervous. Cats begin paw kneading when they are very little, under the nurturing care of their mother and in a happy state. They rub their paws on objects transferring their scent on to it in the process. Persian cats tend to scratch on surfaces to mark territory, leaving out cues to other felines. They also do this while grooming their claws, to loosen old layers.

Persian cats also have a tendency to treat humans as preys while playing. They play stalk and suddenly pounce out from behind a table or a curtain as you are walking by. Sometimes, they even treat their owner's hands as prey, fighting or nibbling on them when they are in a playful mood. You can certainly play along to the adorable antics of your Persian cat, as long as you let them know when not do so.
