You have to learn to read cat body language and adapt yourself to them and what they need and want.

You have the exquisite privilege of having a small version of a lion or tiger in your life, so the small sacrifices you make to keep them healthy and happy should not be burdensome to you.

I hate seeing cats distressed in any way or teased. My kitty Bobo is the best friend I have and I have no doubt he would give his life for me if need be. I do my best to make his life a happy and pleasant one, with special heated beds, special food, pets and lap time any time he wishes, play time, etc. I even play him “music cats love” every morning during our snuggle time. He purrs when the music begins, so I really do think he likes the music.

Kitties are one of the best things life offers, if you ask me.
