\"\"You probably see jokes and cartoons and quotes showing cats during the stay-at-home orders and a lot of photographs of cats. I get a kick out of them. There\u2019s one, for example, where two cats are talking to each other from separate apartment windows. One says, \u201cI hate this. My humans have taken over the couch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other cat says, \u201cTell me about it, I have to sleep in\"\" my own bed now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think your cats are confused? Displeased? Happy? Or are they just going with the flow? Are you taking more photos of your cat? I seem to be. Maybe that\u2019s because their behavior is a little different. Our cats are climbing into or onto places where they don\u2019t normally get. They seem more needy\u2014maybe they\u2019re just trying to say, \u201cGet off the sofa!\u201d They\u2019re more affectionate, especially when I\u2019m on the sofa. I do notice that when I get up, one of them will take my spot.<\/p>\n

\"\"Here\u2019s a site with pictures of cats in isolation with their humans. I was entertained–thought you might be, too.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019d like a little daily kitten love, here\u2019s a live\u2014real-time video of a mother cat and her kittens in a shelter. They have the run of what appears to be a great kitty-cat playroom. Bored? Tune into these kittens once in a while throughout your day of cooking, eating, watching the birds, watching TV, watching the neighbors, eating, napping, etc\u2026They\u2019re even cute to watch when they\u2019re sleeping. https:\/\/explore.org\/livecams\/cats\/kitten-rescue-cam<\/a><\/p>\n
