Cats chewing toys and meowing may be out of the cat's instinct to show off their trophies. Secondly, it may be that the cat is acting coquettishly and wants the owner to play with her. At this time, the owner can spend more time with the cat, which can increase the distance between the cat and the cat and make the cat trust the owner more. In addition, when a cat is in heat, if it does not find a mate, it may choose to vent on the toy, biting the toy and screaming all the time.

1. Instinct

Cats have a hunting instinct. When they catch prey, they will bite and bark at the prey to warn other animals not to compete with it. So when a cat scratches and bites a toy, it will instinctively make a meowing sound. This is also the cat celebrating and showing off its trophies to its owner.

2. Acting coquettishly

If the cat bites the toy and keeps barking around the owner, it may be that the cat is acting coquettishly towards the owner, hoping that the owner can play with it. At this time, the owner can play with the cat for a while, which will help the cat get closer to and trust the owner.

3. Estrus

Cats usually go into estrus when they are 5-6 months old. If they do not find a mate during this period, the cat may choose to vent on toys, and There may also be symptoms such as urinating indiscriminately, howling, and being irritable. At this time, if there is a need for breeding of cats, it is recommended to wait until the cats are one and a half years old before breeding to avoid problems such as dystocia if the cats are too young. If there is no need for reproduction, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery at a staggered estrus period.
