11.Cats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior.Interestingly,due to some of their physical features,cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up,which may seem unusual.There are several reasons why cats climb trees,mostly to do with defensive purposes.Cats,as predators(捕食者),like to understand their environment well.As they are small animals,their scope of vision is considerably smaller.Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.
While cats are predators,they are also easy to get attacked from larger animals,such as dogs or even other cats.A tree often provides a safe hiding place.In the wild,cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators'range.It also helps disguise their presence.
Some cats may climb trees for fun,on occasion,or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities.Small cats frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything,from bookcases to trees to a person's leg.Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down,the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction.A cat's claws curve inward,allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first.Unfortunately,this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.
Eventually,most trapped cats will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first.Either way,a cat up a tree is usually nothing to worry about; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.
