As "My Cat From Hell" returns to "Animal Planet" for a fifth season, HuffPost TV spoke with Jackson Galaxy for a friendly reminder that basically everything we think we know about cats is wrong. Galaxy, the most (/only) famous cat behaviorist in the world, elaborated on the beauty of pet parenthood and all the kitty I-love-you's you've been missing out on.
When cats blink, they're basically saying "I love you" ... For cats, communicating love is the equivalent of communicating vulnerability. As predators, a long blink is actually a very important feline gesture, because it surrenders the animal to harm and sends up a message of trust. "When a cat shuts their eyes to you for an extended period, it's a grand gesture," Galaxy explained. "It is to say to a potential predator, 'Go ahead, I trust that you won't kill me.'"

I learned from Jackson Galaxy facts about cats I didn't know before and and as a cat owner myself, I am bewitched.
Cat language is special. Once you know how your cats communicate with you, it brings your relationship with them to a whole new level.
And I can't stop LOLLING at the hideously cute cat videos!
We adopted mom and she gave us 4 babies - now all grown-up. I love it when they groom each other. Each one has a very different personality.
This is our 2nd cat and I am amazed at how they deal with the three of us (wife, me and our daughter). Three people and three cat behaviors essentially.
Screw huffpo, SHAME for linking to huffpo.

CATS: "You have no chance to survive make your time."
Obviously, Cats are evil and wish for our destruction.
Its a non-political article.
Do you object to them?
And I see nothing offensive about the video content.
You think I’m objecting to cats?
You think I’m objecting to political articles?
Gee, what could be left to object to....???
Did you read my post? DON’T YOU GET IT.
never mind, you’re clueless.
Then I guess I must be clueless too, ‘cause I have no idea what the eff you’re talking about. It’s a silly little post about cats. Plus you never win anybody over by insulting them. That’s something a liberal would do.

I agree you are, and it’s not about cats, it’s about huffpo.
And no I’m not trying to “win anybody over” — should I have to? This is a conservative site, unlike... well never mind.
Have a nice day.
