As I sit here looking at the eyes of my little ones, I know they depend on me for everything. I'm all they have to provide for them. Whether it's giving shelter, food, water, toys, treats, medical care, and all my love.
But, I have to apologize in my own mind about not knowing how to read their needs. I can tell when they want something because they may just sit there motionless and stare at me. Or, do some figure 8's around my legs. But, when they just sit at a distance or roam aimlessly around, meowing, what are they trying to tell me? What's on their mind?
If I could only read their innermost desires, I could give them what they want. I apologize for those times I have something to do and may seem to ignore them. Those times could be very important to them. I do notice different verbal outbursts, such as short chips of a meow, with constant repetition. Are those the times that they are explaining themselves? Is the howling off on the other side of the room their loneliness?
I do try to read their needs. When they ignore me are they getting even? Maybe, just maybe I'm in a happy medium, where it all works out. I get what I need from them, and they have me pegged for how to play me. I do at times feel I should be better at understanding them. I guess my apologies are the times they are in my lap just purring away, getting their heads stroked. Or, when they climb into bed next to me and get in their most comfortable position.

Couldn't have said that better myself, I would love to know exactly how my kitties feel.x
Maybe because he's my "only child", he knows he gets too much attention, even if he doesn't want it sometimes...
I'd like to know what
