Decoding Your Cat
Cats are enigmatic creatures who have a language all their own. From the subtle flick of a tail to the deliberate slow blink, these feline behaviours are fascinating and understanding and interpreting these signals can deepen the bond between you and your furry friend.
The slow blink (picture above) is an intriguing aspect of cat communication. When your cat looks at you and deliberately closes its eyes, it's a sign of trust and affection. Returning the gesture can strengthen the bond between you two, creating a silent language of love.
One of the most expressive features of a cat is its whiskers. Far from being just decorative, a cat's whiskers are a sophisticated communication tool. These sensitive hairs, deeply embedded in a cat's body, serve as a radar system, helping them navigate their surroundings with precision. If your cat's whiskers are pulled back, it might indicate fear or aggression, while forward-facing whiskers signal curiosity or excitement.
In the world of cat ownership, decoding these behaviours is like unlocking a secret code to your feline companion's emotions and needs. The more we understand and appreciate the subtle cues our cats give us, the richer our relationships with them become. So, next time your cat exhibits a "peculiar "behaviour, remember, it might just be their way of saying, "I love you" or "I need some space."

Cats Take Over The World
Others may think I'm exaggerating. How can a such a small bundle of fur rule big people with an iron fist? Let me present the proof.
They are all Ninjas, that is they display stealth and prowess in combat to get their own way.
But most of all, they have humans wrapped around their little fingers (or paws).

Elmo The Horticulturalist
Meet Elmo, a cool cat who's definitely into flower power.
Elmo was adopted from a shelter, is a real character. He doesn't even mind when the children of the family pose him in sunglasses!
He's certainly proud of his prize catches.
"He likes best to leave them in our path somewhere," Laurel said, usually "the living room right on the main thoroughfare. But occasionally some make it to the floor of the bedroom. The majority of them never make it into the house.
"A lot seem to end up right by the cat door from the garage to the family room. I think it's hard to get them through the door. I threw out a pile of about 10-inch branch tips in various states of drying last weekend from there. He also loses some at the outside cat door.
"I wish we could get a camera mounted on his head to figure out how he does all of this."

How To Trap A Cat!
We all know cats love cardboard boxes, but it seems circles hold just as much appeal. This was on the www.boredpanda.com website recently. Have you tried it?
It seems to work and one explanation is that cats seek safety - that's why they love small, secure spaces - and they see a circle as a place of security.
First, bait the trap. |
Second, wait for the target to approach. |
Three, bingo! The beast is captured in his lair. |
