What Is Your Cat Saying To You?



 
Cats can be quite independent and communicate loud and clear with body language, but did you ever wonder what your cat was trying to tell you with just a look?  I found this article and thought it was quite interesting.
 
 

I also found a website called wikiHow that gives these instructions for communicating with your cat.  The illustrations crack me up.  Petfinder.com also has some great information on their page.  And here is a link from Wikipedia with some useful information. 
 



On a side note…I’ve been criticized for using Wikipedia as a resource.  However, I do find it to be fairly reliable.  I always check to see if my other sources agree with what Wikipedia says.  I also used Wikipedia a lot when I was in college, so even my college professors approved of it, as long as I could backup my research.  So…if I say I learned something in Wikipedia that is not true, let me know what it is and what your source is.  I’m always open to learning.
 
 

Now…back to my topic.  I used to be able to tell what kind of mood Merlin, my magic cat, was in just by looking at him.  If I was reading a book and he wanted my attention, he would come and sit on my chest so I could not see my book. If he was content with my reading, but just wanted attention, he could come lay on my thigh so I could still read, but pet him at the same time.  I could tell when he wanted to play by the way he walked up to me.  He would grab my wrist and lay on his side and I would spin him around on the living room floor.  He was truly my Magic Cat.
 

 

It’s amazing how you will be thinking about something, like me thinking about what I wanted to write about in this blog, and something will pop up that is absolutely perfect for what you were thinking about.  Case in point.  I’m writing a blog about communicating with your cat when this story popped up on my Facebook page.  How amazing is that?  A Seeing Eye Cat!!  Have any of you heard of anything like this before?  This is true devotion and an amazing ability for this cat to communicate with her owner.
 
 

So tell me…how does your cat communicate with you?


Be Well & Be Happy,
