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,
Pet~Pourri
