I snuck up on Bud-Bud. He likes that.

I should have been more careful about alerting his whiskers. But then, that's what they are for.

I did get the mrrrp sound, which Bud does particularly well.

Revealed in a single, dramatic, article. For decades, Cat Appreciators understood cats better than the science of the time. Now, science is catching up.

It means those of us in rescue were right, all along. Cats are worth saving.

They love us back.

Tristan does try to arrange his four limbs and tail in different ways each time.

Like a musician who understands the complexity of only eight notes.

Needs I Can Meet is how we love. - Hearts at Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/needs-i-can

I love cats because they have needs I can meet. This turns into a Cat Appreciator advantage.

Because we can do so much with so little.

Myth of Obedience is cats = untrained. - Learn at Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/the-myth-of

A common cat myth: that cats are not obedient. It might also be the most damaging.

This myth got started because it is more difficult to obedience train a cat than a dog. But it’s no use pretending that it is not possible.

Cats are all about the love!

They have plenty of social glue to keep their circles going.

NEW POST! Dear Pammy, Can a cat relationship change? - Multiple Cats at the Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/dear-pammy-

We can't make a cat do anything, if it's not their idea.

In such cases, our task is to give them the idea.

Sir Tristan takes a nap in the dawn light with Squire Jeff, his stuffed giraffe.

He likes to rest his head or chin on this "extra littermate." With reduced sensory input from age (he's 13) it helps his Senior self fall asleep.

The Stuffed Animal Misconception hurts us, too. - Love at Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/the-stuffed

We would love to scoop up our cat like a human infant and kiss their belly. We shouldn’t.

At least, not on short acquaintance.

After being boy-heavy in our Civilization we now revel in our darling girl kittens.

Almost adulthood. But not yet.

Posing on an open windowsill, and beneath it a radiator outlined with a pale towel, a dilute tortoiseshell cat gazes at the camera. While the all black cat on the radiator closes her eyes as she sniffs the breeze from the greenery and rock wall visible in the window.
