Cats don't caress us.

Cats don't caress us. They caress themselves, on us. - Rivars

Boy, ain't that the truth! So, when so inclined, cats will rub and rub until their hair stands on end. And you would think that it would be to get our attention. But, it is really for their own benefit, their own good feeling. Pretty sneaky, I'll say. But that's OK. They do get ones attention, anyways. And they do get themselves in a better place (I hope!). So, I say, let them rub. I'll just have to be a little careful about picking up or touching anything electronic that might be harmed by a moderate static discharge! Our cats, taking shifts of course, follow us to answer the phone. They will get right up into your face while you are trying to talk. Rubbing furiously, constantly, until you acknowledge them. Pet them a little (or lot) until they are satisfied that you have done your part to meet their need for attention (when the phone rings?). Those darn cats!

Cats like their comfort!

How about this one by 'James Herriot' :
"Cats are connisseurs of comfort"

Now, that sounds like a cat I know! Wait a minute, maybe
that's like all the cats I know! But certainly, if a cat has
the choice of moving because it could or remaining quite
comfortable as it is, well, the choice for most, if not all,
is an easy one to make. Remain, and be comfortable!
Well, if I must! OK then, I must! And remain it does
and will remain until something really pressing occurs,
but it had better be important.

Welcome to the oldest cat tricks blog!

There is an English saying : 'A cat sees through shut lids'. I believe whoever said that knew something about cats! And as we all know, cats do love their naps. So, putting these two ideas together, we should conclude that cats, though they appear to be out of it, are really collecting valuable data about the world virtually all the time!

I believe that cats have us fooled. They know secrets that they can't reveal. We must be ever vigilant about observing them and decide for ourselves what those secrets really are! We should do this! Cats are marvelous! They know things!

Each week I will add a saying to this blog, see if they 'ring true' for you, too!
