Hello, I’m Christopher! Learn my introduction to be taught extra about me and my foolish Russian Blue cat, Olga.
Cats have a popularity for being extra mysterious and religious than different animals, and whereas I’m amazed by their actions and respect their crafty minds, I don’t assume they’re psychic or telepathic. I’m cynical about spiritualism, however I admit that cats and their homeowners have interaction in unstated communication.
Felines aren’t telepathic in a science fiction sense; they will’t transfer objects with their minds or power birds to fly into brick partitions, however they’re proficient at anticipating our actions from our physique language. If Olga had been genuinely telepathic, I’d lock up my cutlery and maintain her meals in a secure.
The Breakfast and Dinner Bells
When Olga is hungry, which is more often than not, she employs numerous strategies to get my consideration. Within the morning, she’ll whine if I hit the snooze button on my alarm since she is aware of I’m delaying her breakfast. Then, she’ll soar on the lavatory sink and play hockey with my contact case, and if I’m nonetheless asleep, she’ll lick my head.
I don’t feed Olga till I end working within the night, however she sends psychic messages a number of hours earlier than dinnertime. She sits subsequent to my desk, stares intently, and tries to look uncared for. I’m uncertain the place she realized to make use of “pet canine eyes” to beg for meals, however she’s mastered it.
If I make eye contact, she grunts and walks towards the kitchen. I normally ignore her, but when I wait too lengthy, she’ll scream and discover one thing on the kitchen desk to knock on the ground. She is aware of my routine once I’m signing off at work and listens for the sounds I make when turning off my laptop and shifting my squeaky chair.
If she hears this when she’s within the litter field, she’ll bolt out of it prematurely and return after she’s fed.
Taking part in Video games
Generally, Olga will run over to me if I stare at her too lengthy, and I assume she thinks my stare is an invite to play. She’ll hunch up her again, fluff out her fur, and hop in my route like an overgrown rabbit. If I strategy her, she’ll hit me within the leg and run away. She needs me to chase her or throw a paper ball she will bat round.
She isn’t keen on enjoying alone and may inform when my consideration isn’t targeted on her throughout a sport. Like many lazy homeowners, I’ve tried watching TV or studying whereas enjoying along with her, however she walks away irritated and normally takes a nap.
Though cats aren’t psychic, they’re extremely expert at studying our faces and feelings. I really feel safer understanding that Olga isn’t telepathic and is incapable of attacking me by shifting sharp objects along with her thoughts.
Cats like following a routine for a number of causes, however one hardly ever mentioned is that it helps them anticipate their homeowners’ actions. Olga listens for the sounds of me waking up or ending work and is aware of I’m about to go away once I choose up my pockets and keys or change garments.
