Today is Respect Your Cat Day! 🐱

Being a good cat parent means learning to speak their language. Here's how to show your feline friend the respect they deserve:

- Watch their tail - a swishing tail often means "time to stop"
- Notice their ear position - flattened ears signal overstimulation
- Pay attention to skin twitching - this could mean petting time is over
- Give them space when they walk away
- Let them come to you for attention
- Respect their "no" when they don't want to be held
- Provide hiding spots and high perches

Remember: A happy cat is one whose boundaries are respected! 😺
