Fluffy Friday # 75 - Big Fat Meow! *

What? A Fluffy Friday post on a Saturday? And after a long silence too?

Well, I have to thank my friend Lil actually. She reminded me of my Fluffy Friday post by posting a FF without me LOL! I am so sorry to my fluffy friends for neglecting my cat blog lately. I will try my best to be more active here. It’s not like I don’t have a whole lot of photos and cat stories to share so the only conclusion I have for the lack of posting is sheer laziness and lack of inspiration. My bad, I know. Will you forgive me meows?

Back to Lil who’s apparently having some problem housing her many cats, I hope I am not too late to have her post featured here this week on Fluffy Friday. Please drop by and lend her some support in aiding her mission to find the best homes for her cats. I know she stated in her post that she only has a week to find them good loving owners but I’m sure she will still appreciate your love and support for her many meows by dropping by for a visit at the very least.

I am leaving you with this awesome fat and fluffy meow photo, courtesy of Catster. Happy Fluffy Friday and I want this fatty fluffy meow, oh my!!

How Cats Show Love *

My cats belong to Catster and I found his really great article there on How Cats Display Affection, which I'd like to share with all cat owners visiting Meow Diaries.

Blinking: Cats usually meet strangers and potential adversaries (feline, human, and otherwise) with an unblinking, unflinching stare. In the cat world, the ultimate gesture of trust and acceptance is for one model to close its eyes in the company of another. A feline that greets its owner's presence with long, unconcerned blinks or languid, half-closed eyes is signaling deep trust.

Grooming: The fact that your cat allows you to groom it signifies a deep level of trust and acceptance. In the wild, cats employ mutual grooming as a stress-relieving and relationship-building gesture. Sometimes a particularly demonstrative cat will groom its human owner.

Head Rubbing: Cats' faces contain scent glands that they use to mark their territory. When a cat rubs its face determinedly against its owner, it is both displaying affection and "marking" that person as its exclusive property.

Kneading: Rhythmically pressing its front paws against its owner recreates the "milk tread" kittens use during nursing to stimulate milk flow from their mother.

Stomach Display: Occasionally a feline may roll over and show its stomach to you. Revealing its soft underbelly is as profound a gesture of trust as any feline can provide. Remember, however, that this is not necessarily an invitation for you to scratch its stomach. Indeed, doing so may cause the cat to switch rapidly into defense mode.

All my three cats show the above signs. But again I'm a little jealous of B because Benji always kneads him and never me!
