A Kitty Note

A Kitty Note

We're kitties.

Don't think we don't love you

Because we seem aloof.

We're not.

We have much on our minds.

Don't think we don't need you

Because of our independence.

It's true.

We are self-reliant.

We take care of ourselves.

We take our own baths.

We take in our much needed naps.

But we need you for food and fresh water.

But that isn’t all

We like you enough to share a home with you.

We talk to you

Showing we enjoy your company.

We may not bark

But we’re always on alert

Protecting our homes and family.

We know our needs

And meet them the best that we can,

With your help.

We know what we like

And a good butterfly chase is good for the heart and mind.

But don’t take our independence as indifference.

Don’t think we don’t care or have feelings.

Our affection is plain

It’s not a lick on the face

Or a wag of our tails.

Know it clear and well

Each time you are near

A gentle touch of your hand

And a place on your lap

A simple purr shows our affection

Our contentment

Our love

A Cat's Gift
A cat's purr, besides showing pleasure, is used to heal themselves. At least that is what the Fauna Communications Research Institute believes. It is still being studied but they have good reason to believe this is the case. Cats purr when they are injured. They have much quicker healing times and post operative recovery times than dogs. There is an old adage repeated at Vet Schools - "Put a cat in a room full of broken bones and you'll get healed bones." The vibration from a cat's purr {frequencies between 20-50 Hz (at low dB)} is believed to help heal cats. That frequency has helped people heal various ailments in experiments. In studies with people and animals the simulated "purr" was able to aid in pain relief, healing tendons and muscles, respiratory problems, and the "purr" actually increased bone density! This leads researchers to believe that this is what is happening when cats purr. They are healing themselves! Cat's bones heal at a faster rate than dogs. It might be possible, hopefully in the near future, to cure and prevent Osteoporosis in people with a purr!
