"Besides the place is stocked with game. Can't beat that!"

Doing the rounds on social media is a picture that explains the difference between dogs and cats. A dog is shown looking desperate to please, over the words: ‘These people feed me, shelter me and love me . . . They must be gods.’
Next to him is a cat with the comment: ‘These people feed me, shelter me and love me . . . I must be a god.’
And there, in a nutshell, is everything you need to know about the two species. Dogs are pack animals, eager to please and desperate to be adored. Cats are not.

Like most cat owners, I’ve often puzzled over the strange relationships we have with our pets. We claim we admire the cool indifference of a cat and respect their sense of independence. But deep down, most cat owners are suspicious that their cats are just in it for the food.
Is all that purring, licking and being available for stroking just an elaborate — and effective — ruse for getting food and a warm place to sleep? Are human beings being conned? Are cats secretly laughing at us?

I love cats. I just want to hug all of them, but I can’t hug every cat

My kitties love me, of this I am sure.
I freely admit it: I am staff to my cats. :)
Cats are great companions and this article did teach me a few things about the beloved and aloof kitteh.
DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan...
DAY 768- I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo". What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth and the tiny bit of flesh under my claws.
Understand a cat? Mine hates me a little less than everyone else in the world. And I relish that.

ping!
My kids call me the ‘cat whisperer’. LOL.
Why, yes I can. Here, I’ll do a little translating.
“Meow” - Get out of my chair you big oaf.
“Meow” - You do see my empty dish, don’t you?
“Meow” - I don’t know what I stepped on in the cat box, but it wasn’t litter.
“Meow” - I would give eight lives just to kick your behind.
“Meow” - If I weighed 100 pounds I would torture and eat you.
I read the Life of Pi before I saw the movie and I don’t think that this was in the movie but at one point he talks about the five sounds a tiger makes and one of them was love. My cat Bob has started making a very odd sound and I think that’s the one. He also makes a sound when he is watching birds or squirrels through the window. He purrs, meows but I haven’t heard him hiss in a long time. He’s a very mellow cat.
I love the British term “moggie” as referring to cats.
I wouldn’t call my cats that. They prefer their titles.
;^)
The Purr Monster is half dog me thinks. He plays fetch with his cat toys... and he absolutely LOVES belly rubs.
