My Christmas Blessing #15

We have 5 Christmas blessings; Dodger, WhiteSox, Pirate, Anchor, and Dodger Jr!  They are gorgeous felines who think they own our home and, of course, we allow them to think so.  How do we know that we are loved?

Not for the faint of heart, but our cats brings presents and they are usually laid on our outdoor porch mat.  Cats are natural hunters, so they will bring us the gifts of mice, a snake, a mole, or a bird.  We have to think of it as a love token and it has to be disposed of when a feline's back it turned so not to hurt their feelings!

Although you would never think of this as a friendly gesture with a human, to receive a head butt from a cat is a pretty big deal.  When our cats share this special privilege with us, they are actually depositing facial pheromones on to us.  These serve to represent their feelings and their "possession" towards us as if they are leaving traces of their scent to claim us with.

When our cats nibble on us in play, this is one of their ways of showing affection towards us.  It is different than a bite that could cause bodily harm, and it tickles more than anything.  When our felines linger around us it is letting us know that they love us.  The rubbing around our legs is because they want to be close to us.  Even when they pretend to be aloof when we are around, we know that they are bluffing because they definitely want to be around us.

Our sweet cats love to knead us like bread dough.  This is really their way of showing you the love they developed as babies when nursing from their mothers.  Usually when your at stays by your side while catching some "Z's", they are known to drift themselves into a heavenly state while kneading away at parts of your body.

I love how our felines make eye contact with us!  They know us well and have developed a trust for us.  When your kitty locks eyes with you, casting a slow blink once eyes are met, this is their version of a kiss!  Be a sweetie and give them a slow blink in return sealing a kiss, an unbelievable bond and love.

Even my felines love me because I ride the dark horse ..
