Cats are strong, with flexible bodies, quick reflexes, razor sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. As nocturnal hunters, cats use their acute hearing and ability to see in almost darkness to locate prey. Cats hear sounds too faint for human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in frequency than humans can perceive. [1]
Most Cats have incredibly soft fur that is irresistible to pet. As you stroke the velvety fur they purr, which is delightful and raise your spirits, additionally reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, and giving you a sense of security. [2]
My cat Gabby is so affectionate that she gets frantic when people are not around to kiss her.
She rubs all over your face and purrs the most magnificent purr in your ear like a lover whispering love phrases in your ear. She sleeps beside my head thru the night and guards me.
When I am sick she stays beside me no matter what, she will stay there all day and night until I am well enough to get up, then she will take care of her needs.
