This doesn't mean you should leave them alone for long periods of time, since a cat needs to socialize in order to be happy. Of course, as we said, you should respect their pace, time and space. 4. Cats are clever and curious Curiosity goes hand in hand with feline dexterity. A curious cat tests its ability to sneak into almost any place it wants. This, although fun, can be somewhat dangerous.
