Are Cats Indecisive?
They say when a cat wants to go out, they immediately want to be on the other side of the door. They love exploring a box or bag and then want out. The hiss then purr. They like one kind of food then another. They settle down at your feet and then settle near your head. Are they being indecisive or discerning? Choosy or playing games? Gris Gris couldn’t decide to sit or stand on a garden chair, but after observing him more carefully, I realized he never had any intentions of using the chair as a chair but as an object to gain a better view into the bushes for stalking prey.
Cats sit, observe and then take action and in the case of prey, very decisively. In this case, he ultimately decided to go inside for a snack. Cats, unlike humans never agonize or fret over making a decision and never cry over spilled milk. What does your cat have to say about this?

It’s not being indecisive, it’s what we call being unpredictable. Humans don’t get it. purrrr *gigggles*

Excuse me … it’s not being indecisive, it’s about being discerning. Sometimes we like certain fings or people, and sometimes we don’t! Fact!

Nah, we’re not indecisive, we just change our minds…a lot!

Cats have the uncanny ability to make indecisiveness firmly decisive. Even when a cat “accidently” runs straight into a wall, they delicately lick their paws after, as if it was the most ordinary and intentional of acts ever! Bravo cats! Brilliant!

I think they just like to keep their pet humans guessing what they will do next! Which, come to think of it, is one of the things I like most about them – they are full of surprises.

You are absolutely right. Cats are not indecisive, they are carefully weighing up the options. At least, I think so!!

It’s very hard to say if I’m indecisive…

He is so cute. I can’t decide if cats are indecisive. Or not. I’ll ask Ched. Will he let me know? I wonder.

I think we maybe indecisive, but I cannot be certain.
