Many common behaviors include hunting techniques and reactions to certain events as well as interactions with humans and other animals, such as dogs. Communication can vary greatly depending on a cat's temperament. In a family with multiple cats, social position can also affect behavior patterns with others.

In the case of a family having two or more cats, one cat may become dominant over the other cats. Usually the case being a female.

Famous quotes containing the words cat and/or behavior:
“One cat in a house is a sign of loneliness, two of barrenness, and three of sodomy.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“The inability to control our children’s behavior feels the same as not being able to control it in ourselves. And the fact is that primitive behavior in children does unleash primitive behavior in mothers. That’s what frightens mothers most. For young children, even when out of control, do not have the power to destroy their mothers, but mothers who are out of control feel that they may destroy their children.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
