Welcome to the Wednesday Cats of Catster! Each week, we share a narrative from one among our cat-loving Catsters. This week is about Crystal and her soul cat, Ivy.
Hello, Catsters!
Everyone knows what we take into consideration cats: they’re humorous, fantastic, sensible, typically very unusual, and all the time cute.
However have you ever ever stopped to suppose: what do cats take into consideration us?
Oftentimes, once I’m busy round the home with sure issues, like cleansing the lavatory, doing the laundry, or coming residence with groceries, Ivy intently watches me with what I think about to be a glance of confusion on her cute little face. I then discover myself questioning: what’s she considering?
Listed here are some human habits that I believe cats discover unusual:
1. Showering or Taking a Tub
I believe this one may appear the strangest to them, since most will not be large followers of water. Every single day (hopefully!), we shed our garments and climb into a large tub or stream of water, the place we drench ourselves with water utterly, solely to dry off and do it once more both later within the day or the following day.
2. Our Unusual ‘Looking Ritual’
Do cats suppose we went out searching once we come again with groceries? And why can we put a few of the groceries in a large, chilly field? And the way is their cat meals nearly immediately replenished with out them having to elevate a paw?
3. Cellphone Calls
You’re speaking, however to not them, and there’s a semi-familiar voice popping out of a tool. Generally, once we’re on the telephone, we’d chortle or cry, or grow to be immediately angered. Generally, we keep on the telephone for hours, speaking to the voice on the opposite aspect.
4. Watching TV
Oftentimes, our nightly rituals contain watching an enormous, glowing rectangle. We stare at this rectangle for hours, typically laughing, typically crying, typically with no expression in any respect. Fairly bizarre to consider, proper?
5. Cleansing
After your cat has fastidiously and selectively secured its territory by rubbing up in opposition to sure issues, we take away it by cleansing it. Most of the time, we use cleansing merchandise that odor very unusual and invasive to them.
6. Vacuuming
Sizzling on the heels of the unusual cleansing phenomenon, we have now the dreaded beast, which is known as ‘the vacuum’ – what’s the take care of that? It’s loud, it’s invasive, and of their minds, it’s out to kill them.
7. Sporting Footwear
This one’s a no brainer: we cowl our ‘paws’ with some form of overlaying earlier than heading out into the world. I imply, what even?
8. Strolling on Two Legs
How unusual should this appear to them?! The extra I give it some thought from a cat’s perspective, the extra creeped out I get. Additionally, they have to suppose us extremely inefficient. How will we climb bushes or rapidly get away from threats?
9. Having Visitors Over
Why are there unusual, loud, weirdly smelling strangers in my territory? Additionally, why are they consistently making an attempt to select me up and pet me? Think about if a stranger walked as much as you and simply merely picked you up. Positively an enormous trigger for concern.
10. Seeing Us Fall
Ivy has seen – and induced me to – fall on quite a few events. Does she suppose I’m weak and pathetic as a result of I can’t land on all fours? I’ve to confess, it is extremely embarrassing to fall along with your feline watching.
Dwelling with people have to be a relentless supply of bewilderment – and amusement – for our feline overlords! Their silent judgments are probably much more astute (and humorous) than we are able to ever think about.
Did I miss one thing? Are you able to consider one other human conduct that cats discover puzzling?
Catch you subsequent time, Catsters!
