This is a good example, provided the video is genuine which I believe it is, of a young domestic cat copying the hand movements of his/her human companion and caregiver. The human taps her hand and her tabby cat copies … Continue reading →

Can cats sense when something is wrong? I’ll refer to my personal experiences and those of Jackson Galaxy to answer the question. When something is wrong in our world it affects us emotionally which usually results in our body language … Continue reading →

Domestic cat turns on the faucet to drink running water

Do cats understand human emotions?

PoC avatarPosted on April 27, 2018 by Michael BroadApril 27, 2018
