It’s easy to express your love for your cat. We adore cuddling and snuggling with a precious cats, petting them, and keeping them safe at all costs. But what we don’t always take into consideration is how our efforts come across to the cat. Does she recognize our brand of affection? Does she understand it as an outpouring of love or an annoyance?

You know how sometimes a wonderful petting session can abruptly end before you’re ready to end it. The cat jumps off your lap and wanders out of the room never to be seen again until meal time.
