I thought I'd take a break from films today to show you a video about how to understand cats.
What he says in the video is very true. Just because a cat shows you his tummy, that doesn't necessarily mean he wants it scratched. He's showing he trusts you, but he might not want that much attention.
I've noticed that when cats get unfriendly, people do not generally think that they should change the way they act in any way. They usually just assume that the cat is crazy, or unfriendly. What is really sad is when cat owners fail to understand that their cat is extremely unhappy.
Cats are living creatures, and it makes sense to change the way you deal with them from time to time, and see if that helps them to behave better. If you do, you will likely both be happier.
Of course, there are some things cat do that mortal man was not meant to understand.
