Pet People: Understanding Our Pet's Intuition

The inordinate numbers of animal lovers I have encountered over the years have always shown me how gifted they are when it comes to communicating with their pets. Not only do they understand what their pets are “talking” about, but they are also enthralled with what they are “saying”. I just adore the words they use to relate to fellow animal lovers about what their pets are doing, and especially how deeply they treasure each and every moment they spend with them.

Since these devoted pawrents are often audaciously accused of being anthropomorphic by those with little or no experience with furry companions, I think it’s high time we pet lovers take a stand and “tell them how it is”, letting them know that pet people rock!

For instance: Today, with the easy access to the Internet many pets enjoy, there is nothing more delightful than reading the message boards that some communities provide for pets to express their feelings. And while it takes a little practice to become fluent in “cat-speak” or “canine-chatter”, in my humble opinion, it’s always a good idea to now and again check out what Fluffy or Fido may be saying about their human companion.

To demonstrate exactly what I am talking about, the other day one of my “cyber-sisters” sent me an email with a link to a video which proves my point. While the original video uploaded to YouTube by hkbecky of two cats appearing to be boxing with one another was amusing, JustinCElliott, one very “tuned-in” cat lover, grasped the true meaning about what these kitties are actually doing while they play with one another. 

With total comprehension about these two adorable felines’ behavior, Justin cleverly voiced over hkbecky’s presentation, capturing its true essence (which I imagine is the reason Justin's version recieved over 13,240,465 hits while hkbecky's only recieved 175,582). This dubbed video clearly demonstrates how those blessed with feline purrception exemplify the need to delve a little more deeply into similar situations in order to appreciate the incredible range of feline play.

So take a moment to enjoy “meeting” Goo and Yat Jai, the stars in this video gone viral, “Patty Cake Cats”.

Cats are so talented, don’t you agree? Share your thoughts in a comment.
