🐾 Meow Misconceptions: The Truth Behind Common Cat Myths

 🧊 Myth #1: Cats Are Antisocial and Aloof

Reality:

 Contrary to popular belief, cats are not antisocial. Many cats form strong emotional bonds with their owners. 

They may not wag their tails like dogs, but they show affection through purring, kneading

(making biscuits), slow blinking, and following you around.

> 💡 Cat behavior tip: A slow blink from your cat means they trust and love you.

🥛 Myth #2: Cats Love Milk

Reality:

 The idea that milk is good for cats is outdated. Most adult cats are lactose intolerant, and dairy can cause digestive problems. Instead, offer fresh water or vet-approved cat milk alternatives.

🌙 Myth #3: Cats Are Nocturnal

Reality:

 Cats are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk. This explains those early morning wake-up calls and night-time zoomies.

🐾 Myth #4: Cats Always Land on Their Feet

Reality:

 While cats have great balance, they can still get injured from falls — especially from lower heights where they don’t have time to adjust mid-air.

🐱 Myth #5: Cats Can't Be Trained

Reality: 

With patience and positive reinforcement, cats can learn commands, tricks, and even walk on a leash.

 Clicker training is an excellent way to engage your cat’s brain.

🎭 Myth #6: All Cats Have the Same Personality

Reality:

 Every cat has a unique temperament. While breed and background matter, even two cats from the same litter can behave very differently.

🚫 Myth #7: Cats Scratch Furniture Out of Spite

Reality: 

Scratching is natural cat behavior. It helps them stretch, sharpen their claws, and mark territory. It’s not personal — it’s instinct.
