Cat Talk and Body Language Tutorial
for Better Animal Communication


Introduction to "Cat Talk"
by a Cat Called Flash


Proof that cats are smarter than dogs:
Did you ever see cats hooked up to a sled and running in the snow pulling it?

This is Flash, a special tabby cat. My name is Flash and I'm a special cat -- but then all cats are special and come from royalty. Do you remember the period in Egyptian history when cats were gods and were worshipped? Well, not much has changed as far as us cats are concerned. Anyway, I'm here to tell you humans some secrets -- and common sense -- about cat body language and animal communication.

If you have a cat living with you, then you must be a very special person. Cats don't associate with just anyone. We cats have extraordinary abilities for evaluating people, mainly through their body language. For example, people who dislike cats are instantly identifiable to us because they shy-away and don't look us in the eyes. Our favorite little cat joke is to go sit on their laps and shed a lot!

Strangers who want to pick us up look us directly in the eyes, and call us to come to them. This is always suspicious because direct eye contact usually means a conflict in animal body language. So if we have a choice of which lap to sit on, we pick the person not looking us directly in our eyes. That is usually the person who dislikes cats!

A relationship between a cat and a human can be a wonderful experience for both. For example, we cats know how to snuggle up to people and purr so lovingly that it lowers the human's blood pressure and improves the immune system. It's true! It has been scientifically proven that cats really do extend the lives of their human care givers. And for that priceless service we ask very little in the way of food, safety, and comfort. What a deal for you humans!

This "Cat Talk" website is offered in celebration of the rewarding relationship we cats have had with humans for the past approximately 5,000 years. I want to give you humans some useful insights into how we cats communicate with you. Helping me with this "Cat Talk" project are my two human care givers: Ulla and Larry. Ulla is a gourmet cook and Larry makes websites. I hope you enjoy what we have to share with you.
