I don't know why people think cats don't communicate. This one is a talker....both in voice and body language. If he wants to eat..he has a very low level meow, actually under his breath... and goes sits by his dishes, if he wants to play he does like wise and sits by his toys...if he wants to be left alone he chills out in the bedroom away from activity. Otherwise he has his own recliner.
If he wants to cuddle he sits on the cuddle blanket waiting for me to put in a movie...additionally he likes to watch computer videos...and lets me know he wants to picked up for that.
He also greats me when I get home. I thought maybe just for food until I deprived him of that and just sat petting him...he had a choice and stayed there.
It's been over a month since here and taken time to adjust...but he sure does know how to communicate... and play time he will play catch with his toys....brings them to me after to toss again. Also plays hide and seek...hilarious!
So I disagree...maybe he just thinks he's a dog!
