What Do You Think The Cat Is Thinking?

How to Observe Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day

If you have a cat, go up to it and look it in the eyes. Perhaps you will get the feeling that they are looking at you with a question in mind. The creators of the day say you should try to answer your cat’s question. If you want to be scientific about the process, try to deduce what your cat is saying through their purr, meow, and body language, such as their tail, eye, and body movements. If you don’t have your own cat, you could try this with any cat you come into contact with today. Anyone who is interested in learning more about communication with cats could pick up books such as Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet or How to Speak Cat: A Guide to Decoding Cat Language.

Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day, celebrated on January 22nd, is one of those whimsical holidays that cat lovers revel in. This quirky day is the brainchild of Thomas and Ruth Roy, creators of several unconventional holidays. The concept is simple yet charming: a day dedicated to pondering the questions our feline companions might ask if they could speak. As cat owners know, cats are enigmatic creatures, often leaving us to guess their thoughts and intentions.

Imagine your cat, with its inscrutable gaze, finally voicing its curiosity. Perhaps it wonders why humans insist on cleaning their litter box just when they’ve found the perfect spot. Or maybe it questions why you can open the “magic food cupboard” (otherwise known as the pantry) but it can’t. Your cat might even ponder why it’s forbidden from sitting on that warm, glowing screen you call a laptop.

The essence of Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day lies in the playful act of imagining what goes on in your cat’s mind. It’s a day to observe your cat’s behavior more closely and engage with them in a fun, imaginative way. Create a dialogue where you “answer” their hypothetical questions with the affection and humor that cat parents are known for. This can strengthen the bond you share with your pet, reminding you of the joy and amusement they bring to your life.

Whether you take the opportunity to spoil your cat with extra treats, new toys, or simply more attention, this day encourages a deeper connection with your furry friend. After all, cats have a way of making us humans ponder our own behaviors and routines. So, on this whimsical day, indulge in the fantasy of answering your cat’s most pressing questions, and who knows, you might gain a new perspective on the feline world.
