Listen and Read:
No two alike applies to snowflakes and cats. I think this quality is especially striking in living things.
Snowflakes form and drift down from the clouds, unchanged. Until they melt into water, and lose their distinction.
Living things can develop an essential Self. This, the snowflake lacks. That’s why it loses uniqueness upon transformation.

I just found my cat's Tinder profile…
❤️😻😈
Gamma Cat Type creates a cat who notices things. My cat Smokepuff had trouble in the winter, when Mr WayofCats and I would enter our home with hats on.
He wouldn’t know who we were until we took them off. That extra distortion made us unrecognizable, as with his confusion when his humans changed for bed or got dressed to go out. These extra layers needed to be studied, and he would lose track of the face in the middle, which did not change.
If we have a “noticer” kind of cat, here’s some angles to help understand the baffling behavior.

NEW POST! Sometimes, I rescue because their odds were bad. This happens most often with kittens.
Because they are delightful and there’s nothing wrong with them except a trait which needs special handling. They will get adopted but won’t get special handling. Back in the shelter, this time labeled as a problem.
I could see it coming.

If we want two cats, we often adopt two littermates at a young age. This can be a fine strategy, since we have the advantage of them being used to each other from the beginning.
However, without some attention to kitten personality clues and Cat Type indicators, it can backfire. Since a litter of kittens can have different fathers, the littermates can grow up to be very different personalities. It's rare for them to utterly dislike each other, but it's no real guarantee they will be actual friends.
That's not the case with shelter buddies. Past the kitten stage, easily into teenhood, two cats who have already bonded are set for life.
Adopting shelter buddies is an easy way to start. - the Way of Cats https://www.wayofcats.com/blog/adopting-shelter-buddies/30486

It can be extremely puzzling. We are showing the cat we are friends. They are responding to our friendship overtures. Then they seem to go backwards.
What are we doing wrong? Nothing. This is when our efforts are working. Our cat is feeling close to us.
But if they have trouble with trust, this also frightens them.

NEW POST! Our size differential means we are already giants to our cats. We can lose track of that when we spent time with them, sitting with them on their level. Then we think of people things we need to do, and get up.
In that space, we can lose track of how much bigger we are. This can make us intimidating when we don’t want to be.
Help them understand how much we want to be friends. Play down this difference.

I adore this picture. Tristan had been playing with me in the living room, before he went into the bedroom to take a nap with the already sleeping Mr WayofCats.
I sneaked into the room to make sure he was behaving himself. Then I saw that he had put all four paws into Mr WayofCats' hand.
Such adorable gestures are a Tristan trademark. He combines the drama skills of an Alpha with the ease of expression that comes from being a securely-loved cat.

"Challenged Cat" adoption is not the overwhelming task we fear. Even cats who have "done time" in cages at the shelter can come out of them to be enjoyable, adorable, cats.

NEW POST! All my kitten picking tips start with the person and the cat. We should never surprise anyone with a kitten.
This would bypass the most important element . Which is recognizing an emotional connection, that we can build into a relationship.
I would suggest the surprise should be saying, "Okay, we'll rescue a kitty for Christmas." Or, you know, after Christmas. When things have calmed down and we're not going to scare anyone.

Cat IQ might work like an Impressionability Quotient. If we think of how clay might keep any impressions we form on their surface, we get what I mean by impressionability.
Cats can shrug off, or be deeply impressed by, different situations. This takes place in places which affection their thoughts and behavior. The combinations can vary widely.
This can confuse our training and mental rehabilitation. Especially in a rescued cat we don’t know much about.
The Impressionability Quotient is like a gauge. - Training at the Way of Cats https://www.wayofcats.com/blog/the-impressionability-quotient/31009

Read or Listen to this post on the website.
Is cat love real love?
Yes.
I shouldn’t be surprised at the question, considering people often struggle with love between human beings. Where we, at least, have our own experience to go by.
Love is the feeling I get when Lou appears to exchange greetings, just because he missed me. I see it in the way Rhiannon rolls onto her back and extends her front paws to me. She squeaks her joy that I'm paying attention to her.
What we are feeling, what they are demonstrating, is real.
in the biology
Studies indicate feelings of love are connected with hormones and neurotransmitters in our brains. The same biological substances are in the similarly-constructed brains of dogs and cats.
There's no biological basis for thinking our thoughts and feelings are so very different from our domesticated companion animals. We are using all the same materials.
If we want a pet to exchange affection, then the pet's ability to do that is what we will look for. I think this is where people might feel hesitant about cats. Far too many believe the myth that cats are not affectionate.
The millions of people who love cats are, to me, an effective counter-argument.

Cat Easy Button? That's how I think of my own cat management methods. With so many rescue cats, and so many things to do elsewhere, efficiency was the only way to go.
When my cats made efforts to communicate, I listened. When I saw my cats taking on responsibility for each other, I encouraged. As it turned out, partnering with my cats had even more, and unexpected, benefits.
