Читать книгу The Cat Owners Handbook - Graham Meadows - Страница 19

For the majority of cat owners this is by far the most important feature of cat ownership. It is enough simply to have the cat living in the same house, as a partner and a friend in which we can confide. If you talk to your cat as if it were another human being, you are not unusual. Most of us behave in a similar way.

As well as talking to our cats, we instinctively use methods of communication that we would use with other humans. To console them we use standard ‘primate gestures’ such as stretching out our hands and stroking them, pursing and smacking our lips and ‘soft-voicing’.

At seven weeks, kittens such as these are fully weaned and eating solid foods, happy to interact with people and ready to go to a new home.
