Cats can't speak and say why they're grateful, but I'm betting they'd thank us for yums and snuggles right off the bat . . . if they could. In honor of Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, let's look at some of the ways grateful kitties show their appreciation without using words.

My cat tries talking and if that doesn't grab my attention he starts with the jumping, head butting, running insanity. He gets noticed real quick then. http://notebookchallenge.blogspot.com/

Picking up on the nonverbal communication is key with a cat.

I'd have to disagree about cats NOT being able to "speak" to us. They meow, growl, purr, squeak (mine did that EVERY time she saw a bird) & mumble [when dreaming]. WE just can't understand them! ;-) - That first picture reminds me of my best friend, Sunny, gone from me 7 years now. And not a day goes by when I don't miss her; wish I could have a shelter cat to love... But the only place I could afford to live (an apartment) DOESN'T allow pets. BUMMER!
