Deaf

A condition that can negatively impact a cat’s life because they can’t hear. It doesn’t have to be that way, if care in the environment is taken.

Ordering Devoted Servants


Ordering devoted servants isn’t always easy especially when they don’t understand what you’re asking them. Training can take years. I remember training my girl to take care of me and it wasn’t easy. I had to keep repeating what I needed and wanted until she finally got it. When she did, I no longer had to order her around. She just did whatever I needed her to do. The only thing was that I had to ask for was wet food. She did leave out plenty of dry kibble that I couldn’t eat enough of when I was elderly. So, she gave me wet food whenever I asked. I’m so glad she understood that.

Otherwise, I don’t know what I would have done. She did take care of me quite well and I’m so grateful for that.

Servants

As a cat who has lived indoors and outdoors, I can say it’s wonderful to have servants tending to my every need. It’s rough living outside. Inside it’s possible to have at least one good servant taking care of one. However, finding the right one can take a long time. I know when I finally found the right one, I had to train her as she didn’t know much about taking care of cats.

I’m glad I took the trouble to train her. She turned out to be the best one to take care of me. She was a little whirlwind who had turned my world upside down, and she loved me well (and still does). It is possible to have more than one servant. But one servant is better than none at all. One good servant is still better than lots who don’t have the least idea of what we cats need.

I’m a cat. I never had an owner who was human. I only had servants. I do hope humans can remember we cats are people and not objects to be owned. Hence why humans tend to become our servants and not the other way around.

To a cat, a servant is someone who takes care of them. Cats are such wonderful companions that I don’t mine playing servant to them. Sir Socks trained me well and now I don’t tend to have much trouble taking care of cats. Cats are people and therefore can’t be owned by anyone.

Pet in Other Languages

This month’s cat vocabulary word is pet. Cats can be pets that we never own. Of course knowing cats, they probably think of us as their pets. Sometimes they look after us. When I was suffering from a concussion and post-concussion, Nuri tended to cuddle up to me and purr whenever I was resting on my still point inducer to help me recover.

She was so sweet. She never complained if I forgot to clean out her litter box. I’d feel bad about forgetting and tried to clean it out as often as I could remember.

Pets can and do keep us from being lonely. Sometimes that’s worth more than what we spend on them to take care of them.
