Default Your cat doesn't love you: science

Yes it does. It may not be the same kind of love that humans feel,
but our pets do love us, no matter what science says.


Dunno what other word fits when my Chloe sits on my chest looking
into my eyes from inches away and purring, then pats me on the face
to remind me to keep on stroking her.

On the other hand I think we do need a special word for what's going
on in Marblecake's little mind when she waits till I'm sitting on
the loo, steps into my trousers, stands up on her hind legs and starts
chewing my kneecaps. It can probably be expressed by a single meow
in Tabbyese.


That's what is so cool about cats, they ARE each different, unlike dogs.

I had the pleasure of a cat nap today, WITH an actual cat.

It had rained early in the day, so GLyN decided staying inside for much
of the day would be a good thing, and when I laid down, he was right there
warming my chest and arm for almost 3 hours.

As soon as I got back up, he took off for his grounds guarding.
