Cat's Will Ignore You If You Do Not Entertain Them...

Like humans, cats bore easily. they need to be entertain constanly, just as humans cannot live without the television.

If you are not amusing them they will most likely leave and find something that is more interesting to do.

Dogs on the other hand will sit right there and enjoy the boredom with you.

Also dogs will gladly run endlessly after a frisbee, while a cat, just like us humans will not see the point in doing that...

How Cats Are Just Like Us Humans & Dogs Are Not....

As a cat owner you may be asking yourself several questions pertaining to your cat.

You are not alone!!

We believe that a cat's behavior is just like that of humans.

Where when it comes to dogs behavior is different from humans.

When you make a cat angry, whether it be because you left them for a week, forgot to change their water to make it cold not warm, did not feed them one night, or change the litter box.

They will retaliate right away.

They will get you back one way or another is is the way of the feline.

It is their manner passive aggressive.

One of their favorite actions as a cat is to take a dump on the floor next to their litter box.

Yes yes just inches away from the box.

They know that you are going to have to clean it up and will be cruising as you do it.

Your cat will be lurking somewhere nearby to view your reaction to get the full satisfaction...

Dogs are just happy to be there, unfortunately they will take much abuse and keep coming back for more compared to the feline...

Miss My Mum All Day today...

So lost all day last night and this afternoon.

Thought my mum was cat-nip..

I call her on my cell no answer even text no answer.

Finally she return my calls this morning.

She could not get out of New York City , due to the winter watch in CT.

Mayor Bloomberg of NYC, stop all buses from leaving at 5 pm..

No buses after 5 pm.

She went to Penn Station to get a train, none until the morning.

First train out 6 am today, no place for mummy s she stayed at Penn Station.

So no hotel insight that was reasonable in that area .

So she stay over night at Penn Station..

What a brave mum with all those crazy people around her

I kept her spirits up and made her laugh while she waited for the train.

She came home today my prays were answered.

I told my Dad to pick her up at South Station were Amtrak is located.

He did this afternoon.

My prayers were answered Meow!!

Poor mum all night and most of the morning hanging on a bench with others waiting for a train.

Hope this does not happen to her again - I so miss her..

Marking Signs...

. Bunting - Your cat may rub or push their face against objects with their forehead, cheeks or chin. What your cat is doing is marking them with subtle biological scents. Some say that a cat's rubbing with the forehead or cheeks indicates affection, but rubbing with the chin is usually reserved for territorial marking.

. Furniture scratching. Contrary to popular belief, (Ask Ms. Stinky she know about this addiction)furniture scratching is not the cat's way of sharpening their claws but is a form of visual and scent marking. Your cat's paws are equipped with scent glands to facilitate this function.

Territorial concerns will increase furniture scratching/marking and should be addressed if furniture scratching becomes a problem.

. Marking objects with urine or feces, This is an even more distasteful form of marking behavior to most cat owners. The function is similar to furniture marking signifying a olfactory warning.

. Anal sac secretions. Your cat may sometimes discharge their anal sac, when in situations of extreme fear. Anal sac secretions are thought to contain a fear pheromone that serves to remind the cat not to pass that way again.

. There are benefits to caring cat owners in obtaining glimpses into the mind of their pet because it enhances their bond with their cat and facilitates communications. So next time you are alone with your cat and do not have anything to do, try reading your cat's mind...

You will probably learn something you did not know before and have a greater understanding because of it......
