Whiskers

I'm a sucker for cat whiskers. You can tell a lot about what's on a cat's mind by watching the movement of those whiskers. Do they bristle? They fly up and down when a cat chews and whiskers get a super work-out when a cat yawns.

Whiskers are a work of art. At night, kitty whiskers on my pillow tickle me. Buddy and Yanni love to sleep in my hair. To me, being brushed with cat whiskers reminds me of a butterfly landing on me. It's that delicate.

Whiskers are a decorative addition to any kitty's face (placed not only near the mouth, but also above the eyes), very photogenic. Whiskers are sensitive enough to help a cat scamper through nine lives. They show the feline which way the breeze or wind is blowing, what obstacles are in the way.

Whiskers let a cat know if he can fit somewhere and we all know how cats like to play hide-and-seek

Q: Where does your cat hide?

Thank you for joining my blog, Cat Lady. I feel a bit out of my league having a REAL Cat Lady commenting on my meanderings with my cats. Anyway, A: My cats hide everywhere. Moose thinks he is slick if he hides under the couch, but he knows the sound of the sliding glass door opening, and as soon as he hears it he bolts to be the first there.
Emma sits in the window all day long, sunbathing. Not much of a hider.
Sister hides behind the stacks of laundry that accumulate. She also head butts the laundry, she's very affectionate.
And last, there's Bootsie. Bootsie hides in my bathroom, she likes to be in charge of the shampoo.

Answer to your question: Two of my cats are 11 years old, so they don't have much energy. But, Cubbie, my newest cat, loves to hide under my sister's bed, and in baskets of clean clothing.
