There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators（捕食者）, lie to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.
While cats are predators, they are also easy to get attaced from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence,.
Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to wor on improving their climbing abilities. Small cats frequently test out their claw sills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from boocases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and fleibility and teach them an important defensive sill.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarable climbing abilities only wor in one direction.
