• Well, it certainly seems that there is a recurring theme here relating to the fact that cats like to communicate with us. Whether it is telling us about their day, announcing their entrance to a room or simply blabbing back and forth with no understanding or reason. It seems as though our feline friends view this back and forth vocalization as some sort of intimacy. Which is rather reasonable considering how they feel about being touched. So the next time your cat starts meowing about something, maybe listen and join in. You might even get some more cuddles out of it…

• Honestly, if cats had Reddit, the last thing they would care to search up would be why us hoomans do not talk back to them. They would be looking up how to solicit more food from us, how to get away with destroying a house by being cute, or worse still how to disappear while still being inside your home. Though we wanted to throw back a moment to the post about sign language as this very much proves the point we made earlier about cats viewing communication as intimacy. And what is interesting about this approach of sign language is that cats only meow to communicate with hoomans anyway, so why not make that communication happen in a way that can actually become tangible and well, conversation-like?
