Typical interactions
- Play and pouncing:Β A kitten’s instinct is to stalk and pounce. They often use farm animals as a moving target for their play-hunting, chasing after the slow-moving legs of sheep, goats, and cows.
- Exploring and cuddling:Β Kittens are naturally curious and explore their environment. Their small size allows them to navigate around larger animals, and they may even be found napping near a larger, gentle animal like a cow or sheep.
- Following and learning:Β Kittens learn social and predatory skills from observing their mothers and other animals. On a farm, this can lead to surprising friendships, such as a kitten who befriended a herd of goats and began acting like one itself.
