HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH CATS

Communicating with cats can be very difficult  and frustrating as they tend to be very detached, it is way easier when communicating with dogs, they learn very fast, where not to lie, what chair not to sit in, where not to poop ,and whenever they fall out of line they are very apologetic from their eyes, tails and even squirms. 

But when it comes to cat is like they always press a reset button to forget what they did just two hours ago, they seem to forget how pissed you seemed when they peed on your clothes and are likely to repeat itself should the situation presents itself, no matter how often you put them down from the couch, they seem to want to get back up there, they have a mind of their own and are likely to revisit the scene of their crimes. 

One way to communicate with cats is to understand them as that is the only way to relate with them. They have no interests in understanding you or your moods, one can say they can be very selfish. They want you to know when they are hungry, when they need to be pampered, when they are in the mood to play but not the other way around, they don't mind waking you up at 2am  for the fun of it, and you can't help but wonder with all the house space they chose their playspot right next to your ear, the list goes on and on, they would have survive well on their own but you choose to have them as side kicks in which case they cannot afford to be. Basically you need to understand their patterns and adjust to it, when they want to eat, sleep, get a rub, playtime, change in diets and portions. 

What's to gain from this idolisation of a pet? for one thing you get to have a clean house companion, if they are content, you will have very little to tend to in terms of picking up after them, they stick to their litter box, keep rodents away, and when you are bored they will be there to pur, lick your face and rub their soft furry coat all over you and make you feel soo much better.
