Every cat is a little different. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't let anyone tell you that they are boring animals with no purrsonalities, because that is so untrue. Every cat likes different things. Some cats like when we talk to them - it probably makes them feel included - while some cats don't care about it. Some cats like going on walks, even though no matter how many times you'll see it outside, you'll probably think it's a bit funny. Some cats like weird foods and sleep in silly, uncomfortable places.
You have to put in the effort to learn what makes your cat happy, what makes your cat calm. Because when they are happy and calm, then we are too. And if you find out that your cat likes being read to before bed like a baby, well, it seems that your nighttime routine will change a little bit for the foreseeable future.
We don't know what it is exactly that makes cat enjoy things like their humans reading or talking to them, but we think it's something about the cadence of our voice. The calm and consistent drawl of it. And maybe the attention too - not directed right at them but still there, wholesome and loving.
This story truly makes us happy. We can just feel like the love emanating from this post, and it gives us so much hope for humanity. We hope that the two of you will have many happy and healthy years together and read many, many books together that will make you happy.
