Cats talk with their eyes. Squinting their eyes however is a form of communication, sometimes blinking one eye at a time and much slower than a human’s blink. Ever noticed your cat look at you and slowly squint their eyes closed? That’s a sign of deep affection and you should return the gesture. Cats have rotating ears. Their ears can rotate in various degrees with even the capability of making one of their ears point backwards to listen. Their intuitive hearing can help make the cat a very successful hunter by pinpointing the exact location of their prey within three inches. Source: Victoria Swanson, Smart Living

The language of friendship is not only words but meanings… Don’t chase people when they walk away. It’s not that they’re not important. If they want  you in their life, they will stay. ~Unknown

Cats have whiskers everywhere – not just on their face.Those incredible whiskers are a cat’s primary touch receptors. Whiskers are not just on a cats face, they are located on their front and back legs and over their eyes (those are not eyelashes). Cats have 3D whisker technology. Whiskers have a high degree of nerve endings at the base, when triggered the nerves send the brain a three-dimensional map of their surroundings. The whiskers help determine if a cat can move between two objects by gauging the distance. Whiskers will also help the cat guide their way through night by the cat moving their whiskers forward, making the whiskers an important part of their sensory code.

There was a young man who said ‘though
It seems that I know that I know,
What I would like to see
Is the I that sees me
When I know that I know that I know’.

Happiness depends on what you can give, not on what you can get.

Someone is in this world whom we love so much and who believes us more than everyone else that’s our best friend.
~Unknown 

A friend is the best gift we give to ourselves. Friends are those people in our life with whom we do not have any blood relation. It is a relation of love and affection towards each other. A true friend loves us unconditionally, understands us, but never judge us and always tries to support us, help us and give us good advice. ~Anurag Prakash Ray

We all need somebody to talk to, somebody that will listen somebody that understands. Love doesn’t isolate. if you have to cut off good friends and family to please your partner, you’re not in a relationship. That’s slavery, a person only isolates you so they can control you. ~Unknown
