>cat meows very loudly when I reach out to pet it
>doesn't flinch, hiss, or paw at me, just loudly meows continuously
>haven't pet her yet because I don't know what she's trying to say (it's a calico so probably female)
What is this weird feline trying to tell me?
>Pick up wand and start dragging it around my apartment
>Cat chases it back and forth through my place a few times
>Suddenly flops on his side and doesn't really want to move
Is there a reason for this?
It got bored
I have a calico that yells when I look at her. She yells when she wants to be pet. She yells when she's about to be pet. Then when I pet her she starts shrieking and trotting away, and if I don't follow her to keep petting her she'll start yelling again.
Idk, cats are weird, your reflexes shouldn't be so poor that you can't risk a pet.
>your reflexes shouldn't be so poor that you can't risk a pet
Idk man cats are freakin FAST not to mention unpredictable.
y are 99% of cats cute?
dont have to worry about skin quality or color when youre covered in hair. small features are generally desired as well
They were domesticated to express childlike behavior well into adulthood. They see all humans as parents except in the most abused cases.
Please don’t. Don’t be like a hag who think cats are their children.
It’s true, thoughever. They aren’t human children, they are permanent kittens.
All domestic animals are like children. It's the schizos that were too fucked up for literally anyone to breed with them that see them like human children. The vast majority of women are programmed for children so if that's not sated through the traditional sense they cope with whatever they can easily care for which are usually cats for some reason. You gotta have money and a somewhat stable life to adopt an actual kid, my childless aunt tried but couldn't and now she's a cat lady. No clue how those countless abusive foster parents get their hands on a many kids.
>No clue how those countless abusive foster parents get their hands on a many kids.
Supply and demand.
>cat likes to be held kinda like a baby where he has his front paws on my shoulder and I'm supporting his bottom with one arm)/my hip
>he likes this so much he will climb up my body on his own and beg to be held like this often, even likes to be held while im walking around doing crap
>feel kinda cringe to do this in front of anyone because I think it I look like a weird "cat mommy" crazy lady who thinks her cat is a people
I also sing retarded songs to him where I replace the words with things that are cat related out of boredom if I'm home alone. He responds to it and meows when I do this so I find it very entertaining and it kind exercises my creativity but I don't do this in front of people really. Cats do naturally appeal to maternal instincts because tiny body, big eyes, little face, high pitched "crying" and they are often really great at manipulating people for food due to their baby-like crying.
>except in the most abused cases
Still applies. They just view humans as abusive parents.
Skin is gross unless tight and spotless and we are not designed to look to errors in most animals the way we would in humans.

>Meowdy-ho, neighbor!
Cute
I'm going to steal this thread because the kot general is dying.
I heard meowing under my house earlier today and when I take a peak all I see are these stone cold ferals. So what the fuck are they even meowing at? I have a theory there could be babys somewhere I but don't know where to look or how to find them. The meowing sounded like it came from an adult, but I think I saw a fat male and skinny female running around my house lately.
I also saw a different adult orange tabby missing an eye and the other eye looked infected. How long is it possible that it survives on it's after losing both eyes do you guys think?
Do you notice any other type of body motion from her when you're reaching out to pet her?
>My liver cannot filter those toxins
Oh boy here we go
I'm assuming I picked the wrong cat body language chart to post
Bitch I'm in charge here and I say your belly's in for a rubbin'
>They expect me not to rub the fat cats belly especially when I know it's not gonna have the strength to roll over and do a damn thing about it.
I believe it exists but is only as a recessive disease that effects females. Consider it a trade off for balding.
Is that her in pic related?
Probably hungry.
Maybe, it's always good to offer food to an animal though. A universal peace offering.
No unfortunately, I never thought to take a picture of her before now.
She usually walks around a little and sits like this. I think a little peace offering may be in order.
>No unfortunately, I never thought to take a picture of her before now.
You gotta take pictures of your pets to keep memories when they pass away
or if she gets lost
Toade :] I caught one of these fellows yesterday and it was HUGE! I know you're not supposed to touch them but I had to because he was in the road.
It sounded like a normal meow but louder and very drawn out. She looks me in the eye the whole time too. I feel like if I brought her some chicken she'd probably trust me.
>like a normal meow but louder and very drawn out. She looks me in the eye the whole time too.
Thats "I dont like what youre doing and youre freaking me out, fuck off." Get closer or dont stop and its going to explode on you and youre gonna get sliced up.
Good to know.. I couldn't find her at all but I'll see what she's like after giving her cat treats.
None of the above her ears are perked up and her tail just lies on the ground limply when sitting.
she's flirting with you and I'm not even kidding
does she push against your hand when you pet her? does she come to you when she sees you, or does she let you approach her instead?
long drawn meows can also be calls for their parents or clowder
Are the ears drawn back? (threatened, ready to strike)
Is the tail upright? (confident)
Is the tail constantly flailing a bit? (gears spinning for action)
Depends on the tone of the meow and the rest of her body language.
