Humans:
Your cat waits and meows at the front door when you arrive. Is it saying:
Welcome home
The phone rang twice while you were out
Feed me, now
Your cat meows at the door when you go out. Is it saying:
Please don't leave me here all alone
Good-bye
But what if I get hungry while you out?
Your cat digs its claws in your leg. Is this:
An unsupressed primal instinct
A sign of affection
A demand to be fed now
Your cat scratches at the door after being fed: Is it saying:
Lemme out - I need to use the garden
Wanna go out and play
Wonder what they've got to eat next door?
Cats:
Your human walks into the kitchen. Does this mean:
It's hungry
It's lost
You're hungry
Your human puts down a bowl of food for you. Is this:
supper
something to keep you going till supper's ready
inedible junk to be scorned in favour of what the human's got.
Your human removes you from the top of the television. Does this mean:
You're in trouble - better not do it again
Nothing - humans do this from time to time
The human wants to play, so climb up again to amuse it.
Staircases are for:
Getting up to the human's bedroom at 4am
Lying in wait in the dark at the top of
Walking down just slower than the human in front of it.
all of the above
Mine is asking, "Are those sharp enough, or should I go over to the scratching post for a while longer?"
Muggs - I'm definately a dog man, but I knew you'd like to see this. Hope you're doing well and preparing for a Merry Christmas.
The people who had Dizzy before me, had him declawed....I would never do such a thing to a cat, but this is how he came to us....anyway, he has his kitty condo, with a scratching post....what is funny is to watch him try to sharpen the front claws which he does not have...he just works that scratching post as if he had claws...I guess its an instinctual thing...he is sharpening his paws...Merry Christmas to cat lovers and dog lovers everywhere...
"But to get them really sharp, I will use the leather couch."
Usually sleeping off a meal, but sometimes they work hard too.
Nermal is exhausted here after a hard day of supervising his FReeper.
BUMP!
I Love cats.
