I've been watching too many kitten cat videos. I'm starting to want a cat. :)


Also, something I just thought of that I find funny. When I was growing up we had dogs and cats. Most people think that dogs and cats hate each other. When they're outside, they don't really have a lot to do with each other. When they're in the house, they tend to be the best of friends. And even get jealous of each other if you pay attention to one more than the other. My dog used to get jealous of the cat because we let the cat lay on the sofa or bed. If the dog saw that, he'd get up from his nice comfortable spot and jump up on the couch, too.

A cat feeling threatened will hiss, growl, and try to attack another animal. While people know glass may keep an invader out, cats and dogs don't necessarily know that. While humans know what they see in a mirror is a reflection of them, animals (like babies) don't necessarily know that.

Cats, like humans, are curious. If there are unexplored areas, they must be explored, whether one is a human or a cat.

Any surface (including human bodies) is for walking on, sitting on, or sleeping on, and anything on that surface is in the way.
(anything that can be moved, should be moved.)

Anything dangling or moving is a toy or prey.

A cat isn't going to politely say, "I'm uncomfortable, please put me down."

Always, always, always pay attention to a cat's body language and eyes. They pretty much always signal when they are in a playful mood or when they are in a not so very playful mood and you are about to be disemboweled. A kitten, unless sleeping (and probably even then), is always in training to become a master hunter.

Wave a piece of food at a cat, and they believe it's a treat for them.
