| The daytime behaviour of domestic cats in a free-roaming population | |
| 1977 Animal Behaviour (25): 990-998 | |
The cats (Felis catus) of this study were found to fluctuate daily between solitary and group living. These temporal changes in behaviour were interpreted as reflecting adjustments made by the cats for maximum use of different food sources available at these times. The dependence on both a solitary and communal life style for food procurement prevented any intricacy of either pattern from evolving. The structure of each behavioural pattern is discussed. |
