Here's our cat, Hubey ... and [I think!] he made me post this ...
I thought this was a joke about marriage.
They needed a study for this?
They need not resort to such petty stratagems as "mixed meows". They get what they want, or they scream the house down.
Dogs think they’re human.
Cats think they’re gods.
I think there are some cats somewhere forcing their owners to post this story. lol
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
I would agree....when we bought our home we also bought one of the neighborhood cats, a beautiful white cat who answers to the name kitty.....so for the first time in my life I bought cat food.....so as soon as she comes around or she meows till I step outside.....she gets fed.....
My husband is not a big fan of cats (allergies) but he is fond of this one.....he cannot get over how clean she keeps that white coat of hers so clean....
I also found out she gets fed by our neighbors one street over....she is very sweet and loves a good head scratch.....
Anyone who is owned by a cat knows the human does not control anything.
Cats were once worshiped as gods and they will never ever let you forget it.
I have a cat who loves this one chair in my living room. If I’m sitting in that chair and he wants it, he will walk all over me from one arm to the other repeatedly until I inally relinquish the chair to him. He doesn’t need to meow.
I had one cat who would try to bamboozle visitors into feeding her. She would just sit, bat her eyes at the visitor and put on this sad face like she hadn’t been fed in weeks. I always said that if they gave out Academy Awards to cats, she would win hands down.
I have two cats. One uses an annoying meow to get what she wants. The other will meow when hungry, but he’ll also paw on the door like a dog to be let out.
Two different personalities, both fairly annoying, even though I love them. Or actually, they permit me to love them.
I have one that bites when its feeding time. You cannot walk without your shins getting chewed off.
(1) "WELL,"
(2) "DUH!"
Seriously .. we are pouring WAY TOO MUCH moolah into these rat-infested, Leftist Universities (realizing that this one is in the U.K.) who do nothing but try and justify their useless, Leftist existences by blabbering: "our research shows us that 'blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!' Now .. here's the invoice for our endeavours."
I do not need a scientist to tell me that my cat is in charge of things. Dogs have masters cats have a staff.
On another note...Nothing more amusing than the little ding bat chasing the laser light.
Then I bought a twirly thing...and rubbed catnip all over it...The cat finally "flew". I didn't touch her!!
And they do land on their feet....but not after a catnip gig!!
Seems like good research and it makes a lot of sense but it didn’t apply to me.
My cat was on a self feeder of dry food only, self watering only and I changed her litter once a week, she had a heated bed that was always stationed about two feet from my favorite reading spot with a second sun bed built into the alley so that people could say hi to her and pet her as they passed and she watched them, she almost never asked for anything, there wasn’t anything to goad me into.
I've never wondered.
The cat makes it abundantly clear who is in charge.
So they’re saying the cat wants me to smack them upside the head and spray them with water? Because that’s what happens in my house when that sound is made.
