While we’d all agree our cats are quite communicative, they really only have a handful of ways to express themselves so it’s no surprise the messages can get mixed.

1. Your Cat Actually Wants Attention

If you combine a cat’s poor vision up close and their inability to distinguish between many colors, it is no surprise cats can’t see what’s in the bowl!

4. Your Feline Friend Could Be A Social Eater
