No, cats are not solitary creatures. They are also social animals, it’s just that their social structure is different than the dogs. They are considered to predators who hunt alone because they go after the prey that’ll be sufficient for them. We agree that they come from the family of predators but they don’t act like one when it comes to living with a family. They also try to engage themselves in any way they can. But being a predator they just remain cautious in certain situations.
So next time people say that they don’t like cats, you have some facts that can change the misconception around them.
