6 Things Every Cat Owner Says

Do you talk to your cat? If so, you’re not alone. Many people chat with their furry pals. Sometimes Fluffy even talks back! However, we suspect that many of our feline patients hear the same things from their humans. Here, a Fort Collins, CO vet lists some things every cat owner says.

Kitties don’t have a very good vantage point from ground level. Therefore, it’s not surprising that they like to climb to higher places. Fluffy loves to be able to get a better look of her servants (that would be you) and her kingdom. Many people owned by cats find themselves plucking their furry companions off tables, counters, and even bookcases.

Kitties are very curious, and absolutely love to explore new places. For Fluffy, investigating an open closet or cabinet is a fun adventure. Your furball also won’t be able to resist hopping into open suitcases, or jumping into cardboard boxes.

Fluffy may be a pampered and beloved pet, but she’s actually a predator at heart. That said, it isn’t uncommon for cats to ignore their toys, and play with cotton balls, bottlecaps, or even shoes instead.

Sometimes, it’s easy to figure out what Fluffy wants. For instance, if your kitty is sitting in front of her empty food bowl yelling, she’s probably demanding you feed her dinner right meow. And if your furry buddy is scratching at a door, she wants to get in or out. (She may change her mind as soon as you open the door, but that’s another topic.) However, sometimes cats can be a bit more vague. Fluffy may meow to tell you about the squirrel in the yard or the moth in the kitchen. Or, she may just want to complain about something. With cats, you just never know!

Fluffy has been known to immediately eat her breakfast, and then demand more. We know, those plaintive meows are hard to resist, but don’t overindulge your pet. Follow your vet’s nutritional advice.

You’ve probably noticed that kitties are pretty sleepy. Sooner or later, you’ll have to move your furball mid-nap!
