meow

(Seriously... When I posted six months ago, I had every intention of getting active again. I'd blog about movies and TV and politics and whatever else interested me.  Then 2020 happened. Politics became... Unfathomable. Movies simply stopped happening. TV is still there, but after months of binge-watching, what is there to talk about? So I'm reduced to blogging about my cat. And, oddly, pleased by that.) Years ago, I saw a documentary on cats and their behavior. It sought to explain the nuances of cat behaviour and, for those that appreciate cats, was a pretty fascinating watch. (for those that don't get cats, nothing is going to change that, and the fascinations I'm recounting will surely be lost on you.)  One of the things I learned from this documentary was that cats, when they meow, are talking to YOU. Cats do not meow at other cats. They hiss, yowl and posture. They do not meow. That interaction is limited to humans. When a cat meows at you, he is talking to you.
