Category: Friday night cat blogging

In anticipation of the Apocalypse predicted tomorrow, undoubtedly a very sad day for many people, we asked the furry ones whether they were planning the final takeover this weekend. But…

What we have here…
Is two cats and two humans trying to communicate verbally, and for anything other than entertainment, it’s a failure.
Kitsy: -“MmmMmRrrrww-eeew…. WAAAAAH?!? MmmmMrrrrr…
Tito: – RrrrRwwEEEEEE..! RrrrRrrooooo…..
Us: – Wha-? Errm, weeeee?
Kitsy: – RRWAH!!!” (Stops to lick the inside of his left thigh, leg fully extended, toes splayed).

The fact is, these buggers are ambiguous: you know that look, when they watch you with half closed eyes, seemingly satisfied? They have the exact same expression when they give you the stinkeye.
Body language..?

Tito does the downward bonk, dipping his head straight down and applying his forehead to your hand in salutation. Kitsy does the sideways bonk, tilts his head to one side, rubbing his chin and side of his face against you. Sometimes, he will shove his head nose first into your hand, and I think that’s his preferred way of wiping his schnazz as well.

Most times, the conversation is one way, especially with Kitsy who will stare at us trilling, cooing, meowing until he gets pissy and takes off barking. Yes: he barks.
Most times, it goes something like this.
