Cats are obviously not designed to stand like humans, but sometimes, whether to see over something or to appear far more intimidating, a cat will actually stand solely on its two rear paws to ‘assert its presence’.

If you see your cat do this, and it doesn’t look happy, it’d be a wise idea to leave your cat alone for a little while.

But then again, sometimes cats do this just to get a better look at whatever it is they’re looking at.

Usually, when a cat goes up on its rear paws and quite literally, right up on tiptoe, it usually holds onto a ledge or something with its front paws, but cats have been known to stand up without any support.
