Me-usings and Me-emories

30 Nov 2021 - Even within the same species, mind-reading is an iffy proposition... which is why I go for the direct approach.  In case it isn't crystal clear to the shorter peep, I like my breakfast pronto if you please.  A benign poke with the paw causes no harm, can even be construed as an affectionate pat, yet conveys my sense of urgency.  Moreover it works!  So I am a definite advocate of "speak your thoughts".  For cats that manifests in meows, sharp-edged if warranted, and physical gestures.  But if you want the synopsis of what a cat is feeling, just read its tail:  if shaped like the letter C (for "cute" I opine), it is safe to pat the head.
