My Human Answers Your Cats’ Questions Today!

January 22, 2022 By: Summer Samba19 Comments

Summer's human answers some readers' cats' questions for Answer Your Cat's Question Day.

It’s National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day, and as promised, my human has answered some of your questions. She couldn’t quite get to everybody — she had questions to answer across several social media channels. Let’s see what she’s got for you here.

Marv wanted to know Why does my human not appreciate the gifts of dead birds and rodents that I bring to her?
Humans prefer their gifts prepared and not raw. Except for fish sometimes. If you can figure out how to bring her sushi or sashimi, maybe she will like that better.

Roary asked, Why does my ridiculous giant Sheltie brother take up soooo much of my humans’ time? It seems that they are beyond fixated on him and I don’t think that’s right!
Dogs are actually much more high maintenance than cats as a rule. They need more attention (although cats really should be getting more attention than people generally think). Plus they need to go on walks and stuff like that. If you want that much attention, you need to be more like Summer. I have to spend time with her and take her out to keep her mind stimulated. If I didn’t, she would get bored and get in trouble. Not that I’m suggesting you get in trouble. But the squeaky wheel does get the grease, as my dad used to say.

Cathy Keisha wanted to know, When I’m walking into a room, why are my humans always walking in the opposite direction? They say it’s cos I come in at the wrong time. I think they’re rude and should stay.
CK, I’ve been reading your blog for years… and maybe they are a little scared of you! You are unpredictable and you have been known to draw blood. That’s bound to make most humans a little cat shy.

BellaDharma asked, Why do some humans fear cats?
Are you talking about ailurophobia? That could be for a few reasons. Perhaps the human had a bad experience with a cat as a very young child, and this was never dealt with. Or they have misinformation about cats. Or they have psychological issues. Every so often when I am on a therapy cat visit with Summer, someone (usually a child) is afraid her. It’s possible that the child has never seen a cat before. Because we are visiting to make people feel good, we won’t push it. But very occasionally, and always with a parent’s encouragement, we slowly introduce the child to Summer if he or she seems willing. And we have helped a few children be less fearful. Because she is a very sweet and gentle cat, Summer is perfect for first time cat introductions.

I’m not sure how enlightening most of my human’s answers were! But I hope they helped. If you follow me on TikTok or Instagram, I’ll have videos up answering questions that were asked on those platforms sometime today too.

    Great job Summer’s human. My cats still want to know why their human gets upset when they lie on her neck whilst sleeping

    thank you for those great answers!! YES I DO get in trouble when I feel I am not getting enough attention. I will just sit and stare at Levi from a distance to get him all worked up…and…I climb on top of doors and stare down at my awful pawrents. Thank you so much for your insightful answers! Love, Roary (and Mom too!)

    We agree that dogs are much higher maintenance. We see that with how #1 neesd to take Ollie outside so many times a day! Clearly, it’s hard for them to learn to use indoor facilities!

    Interesting answers. My grandfather was afraid of cats – I never heard
    why or what had caused this. I favor cats myself – as do all of us here.

    Excellent answers! I loved the one about sushi/sashimi. Thankfully I dont like fish so no fear me having to catcch one. I’d make Mrs H do all the filleting as she is deft with a blade, which I guess is her secret service training 😉

    Great answers! Thankfully when Flynn brought me gifts he didn’t expect me to eat them, just give praise. Eric would come along and do the eating.
