I watched a special on TV the other night about the difference between cats and dogs. One of the big differences, according to the experts, was that dogs show/feel affection for people while cats don't. I beg to differ. It certainly feels like my cat likes me when she snuggles up beside me on the couch. The expert says she's just claiming me as her possession. Really? How do they know? And really, what difference does it make? If it feels to me like my cat likes me, and, supposedly, she doesn't care, then I'll accept her closeness as affection.
The other piece of information that I found really fascinating is that cats don't "talk" to each other. I know this is true. When I had three cats I hardly ever heard a meow out of any of them, but now that I'm down to one cat, she meows at me all the time.
I'm pretty sure, based on how mine acted around each other, that cats don't need to talk; they read each other's minds. They only "talk" to people because we don't have their telepathic abilities. It's thoughts like that that keep me humble.
