Do you think cats notice that we don’t purr? Like, do you think when they’re kneading dough or sitting next us they’re just like “why no purr? why not happy??” Because that would break my heart.

My cat has a bobtail, so she doesn’t have very fine control over her tail. She tends to point it straight up if you verbally acknowledge her while she’s not expecting it. I like to think of it as her little antenna, phoning back to the mothership.
