    No, it’s when they rest their little chin on you and do a big sigh. 😻😻😻

    I judge entire neighbourhoods on how amenable cats are. If a cat chilling on the footpath is pleased to meet me, then I’m calm. If a cat sitting 50 meters away from me responds to my friendly greeting chirp by backing under the nearest car with flat ears and a sunken tail, I assume the humans around it are garbage people and I need to get out. Cats are to the streets as frogs are to the rivers.

        I assume they’re referring to how the presence of frogs is an indicator as to the cleanliness of the water. If the river is highly polluted no frogs will be present.

          This is precisely what I meant, and I’m glad it came across. 💙

            I personally only visit neighbourhoods where the frogs respond to my chirp of greeting by rolling around on their backs and allowing me to pet their tummies

    When a cat and I both pretend to be too cool to notice each other but also walk in the same direction for a while. Happened ages ago, still riding that high.

    I was once walking down the hallway in my house, and passed my cat going the other direction, and I said “Hi, Zuzu!” and she meowed back, and we kept walking on our separate ways. I thought, “I am now actually communicating with my cat!”

    And I was. She was the smartest cat we ever had, and extremely expressive. She even had a sense of humor. She would play jokes and pranks on me to get me to chase her (she liked at least one good chase a day).
