\"\"Speaking of outdoor cats, as we were on Monday, how many times have you sprinkled your own outdoor cat or a neighbor\u2019s cat while watering the plants in your yard. Oh, the look you get\u2014like \u201cyou meant to do that.\u201d No matter how profusely you apologize, the cat does not seem to forgive. Perhaps it\u2019s because of your unintentional, but unstoppable snicker upon seeing the cat\u2019s indignant \u201cHow could you do that to me\u201d stare as he retreats back into his own yard.<\/p>\n

Cats also climb onto and even into cars. We\u2019ve all \"\"found muddy paw prints on our cars. But have you ever been driving someplace and suddenly see a cat appear at your shoulder. Yikes.<\/p>\n

\"\"Cats can also (and sometimes do) crawl into an engine compartment and are harmed or worse when you start the car.<\/p>\n

Cats have been known to travel long distances never intending to or knowing that it is happening as they\u2019re caught inside a car or truck\u2014even, on occasion, an airplane or in a box that\u2019s been shipped across country.<\/p>\n

Cats have many harrowing stories to tell. Since they can\u2019t actually tell what happened between the time they climbed into that box or that car engine, for example, and they arrived at their destination, we do our best to speak for them.\u00a0 Only it\u2019s the details in between the here and there that are missing. What a different and interesting world it would be if cats could say more than MEOW.<\/p>\n
