Cats like windows because they can watch moving objects such as birds, flies, people or cars. Because they love moving things so much, they sit and watch at the window.

If an intact female cat in heat cries out at the window, she may try to find a mate. An intact male cat can scratch a window screen or roam around the front door to go out.

If your cat does it too much, close and cover the window with a curtain so that she/he is less exposed to external stimuli.

No 4. Warm Places
