Cat Quotes 4:08


Cats are a mysterious kind of folk. There is more passing in their minds than we are aware of. —Sir Walter Scott

I know they tend to think a lot. I don’t know what they think about. To me they seem to be meditating on life, the universe and everything. I can’t determine anything more specific than that.

Cats are a tonic, they are a laugh, they are a cuddle, they are at least pretty just about all of the time and beautiful some of the time. —Roger Caras

Cats certainly make life easy when it’s hard. They can be cute when they do all sorts of antics. They are affectionate and cuddly. They are the best companions I could ever ask for.

Purr

One of the best things about cats is their purr. When I pet them and make them happy and comfortable, they tend to purr for me. It’s a calming and relaxing sound I can hear and feel. It makes me want to cuddle up to the cat and keep them purring. It could be a cat’s way of meditating. It’s even better when I can hold the cat as a human baby and feel their purr within my own heart.

Cuddle in Other Languages

This month’s cat vocabulary is the word cuddle. It is an important word to cats who love to cuddle up to each other and to their human companions. They don’t all like to cuddle up on our laps. Some prefer to lay on top of us when we’re laying down.

Or they simply cuddle up to us when we’re sleeping. They may cuddle up to our legs, arms, or even the top of our heads. Our heads tend to be the hairiest part of our bodies and cats know that. When they cuddle up to each other, they are in contact with hair typically. That’s why they picked the top of our heads.

The kitten I bottle fed tended to sleep cuddled up to the top of my head. After he was fully grown, he was so big he could curl up around the top of my head. I loved waking up to him there.

This month’s cat vocabulary is the word purr. It’s wonderful word to describe that sound cats make when they are typically very relaxed. They can be happy and meditating while they are purring.

We can get their motor running or get them purring when we pet them gentle. They can purr when they cuddle up to us. They can even purr with their eyes half closed when we tell them out loud that we love them.
