Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006Even foreign cats know it...
Last week Dylan and I were in Belgium at the European Stroke Conference where Dylan presented some of his research on pallitive care. We were having breakfast at a cafe when a petite feline descended from the apartment above. I waved at her, then began to eat my sandwich only to find Dylan laughing...she had left her loaf and made herself quite at home on his backpack. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y212/Stormrave/DSC00284.jpg I'm sure Tyche will not be pleased to smell strange cat the next time she loafs there... Anyway, this is evidence that even if humans have a language barrier, Mau (in both spoken and scent-written forms) is universal. --Fil > Last week Dylan and I were in Belgium at the European Stroke Conference > where Dylan presented some of his research on pallitive care.

D'you know why? I read that it's because us cat-lovers will often stare at an unfamiliar cat near them, to "attract" the feline. The cat may interpret that as an aggressive gesture, and avoid you. Cat-phobic people, on the other hand, will avert their eyes. The cat will see this as a submissive gesture, and make a bee-line for them :-) SignatureMatSav > Last week Dylan and I were in Belgium at the European Stroke Conference > where Dylan presented some of his research on pallitive care.

The apratment we stayed in had a daily visitor - a little black cat. I reckon it was down to Waffles communicating to the Mothership that she wanted an eye kept on her hoomins ;-) Cheers, helen s > When we were holidaying in Tuscany, I had many a long and detailed > conversation with the local felines.

I reckon it was down to Waffles communicating > to the Mothership that she wanted an eye kept on her hoomins ;-) I've posted here before that I'm in a small ritual circle with 3 good friends. We've been getting together for 10 years, although at this point, it's more for visiting than for ritual. Our spiritual leanings were pretty different to begin with, but over time we've diverged quite a bit. However, one thing we've all had in common all along is a fervent worship of the manifestations of Bast - hence, our name, the Bastettes. Anyway, back in 2000, the 4 of us went away together for a weekend, and stayed at a guest cottage in the countryside. The property had a resident cat, and we found the little grey girl meatloafing peacefully on one of the beds in our cottage when we arrived. Well, heaven help the poor thing, surrounded by all these Bastettes! :) She just wanted to rest, but no, we had to coo, and pet, and talk to the little beastie. Soon she was off for other parts, where perhaps the people weren't quite such fanatical cat devotees. :) Joyce > > Anyway, this is evidence that even if humans have a language barrier, > > Mau (in both spoken and scent-written forms) is universal.

He made use of the fact that I know my place as regards felines and would snuggle up alongside whilst he got a smurgling, and he would purr loudly and dribble contentedly.

She was working the exit of Osakajo-koen station late at night, accosting all the passengers and asking loudly for food. Unfortunately neither my colleague nor I had any food on us and could only offer some scritches. Kitty-san seemed to enjoy the attention but on realising we had no more to offer and were leaving, she began yelling some rather loud feline abuse at us. We slunk off towards our hotel in embarrassment. I don't actually know the Japanese for "you pair of swindling b*tches" but I'm pretty sure that cat did. > Last week Dylan and I were in Belgium at the European Stroke > Conference where Dylan presented some of his research on pallitive [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > --Fil Awwwww, she looks so sweet. :-) SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > Last week Dylan and I were in Belgium at the European Stroke Conference > where Dylan presented some of his research on pallitive care.
