Cat Herding

[poliphilo]

I go out in the dusk to bring the cat in for his supper. Once I would have circled the house looking for him; now I find it's more effective to walk to the middle of the field, stand still- and wait for him to come to me.  I assume it's easier for him to read my energy signature if I'm not moving. He seems to know my eyesight isn't as good as his- so he signals his approach vocally- and I hear him going miaow, miaow, miaow long before I see him.  He brushes up against my leg, stands on my foot and then we go back into the house together.

He must interpret it that way, when his servant stands still somewhere in the landscape, it means "Come here, follow me".

It feels like we've got an understanding...

That's very sweet.

Cats don't much care for clumsy human feet.

They don't half complain though if we stand on theirs!

You paint a lovely picture. He has established his routine with you.

Almost symbiotic.
