How to Read Your Cat’s Mind

一旦掌握了基础知识，读懂猫的心语真的没有那么困难。只要观察我们的行为和身体语言，他们会告诉你我们的猫咪在想什么。无论如何，让我们开始吧！
You see, reading your cat’s mind is really not that difficult, once you master the basics. It’s all about observing our behavior and our body language; what we do will tell you exactly what is on our devious feline minds. Every time! Let’s get started, shall we?

当你的猫在凌晨几点跳到床上，舔你的脸，他并不是来表达爱意，也不是说你很脏，需要洗澡。这种弄湿你面部的行为只意味着一件事情：他认为到你应该起床和分发早餐的时候了。
When your cat jumps on the bed and licks your face in the wee hours of the morning, he’s not showing affection. He’s also not saying you are dirty and need a bath. No, this face-wetting behavior can mean only one thing: he thinks it’s high time you got up and dished out his breakfast of Darmals.

当你的猫跳到床上，继续用你的胃作为蹦床 – 用它柔软的猫身穿过床，跳到地板，然后又回到另外一边 – 他不是在说自己已经失去能量，想要玩游戏。 这个行为与舔你脸部表示相同的事情：起床喂我，就现在！
When your cat jumps on the bed and proceeds to use your stomach as a trampoline – launching his lithe feline form across the bed, down to the floor and back to the other side, repeatedly – he’s not saying that he’s got pent up energy and wants to play. This behavior says the exact same thing as the face licking: get up and feed me Darmals NOW!!

如果你前往厨房而猫咪跑着随你到了厨房，他不是在向你炫耀自己的运动才能，或希望以此打动你。他只是在说：“我知道你把我的零食放在这个房间里，你会给我一些，因为我看起来很可怜。我饿死了！”然后给出一副你无法抵御的小表情。
If you head toward the kitchen and your cat races you there he’s not showing you his athletic side or hoping to impress you with his running skills. He’s simply saying “I know you keep my cat treats in this room, and you shall give me some because I am giving you my pitiable ‘I’m starving!’ look that you are powerless to resist.”

吃饭的时候，你的猫盯着你吗？把他的爪子放在你的盘子上？你必须把盘子拿在空中吃饭吗？如果你把食物放在厨房柜台上，离开房间一秒钟，当你回来时，食物消失了吗？所有这些行为都表明一件事情，你的猫在说：“我的是我的，你的也是我的。认输吧。“
When you’re eating, does your cat stare at you? Put his paw on your plate? Do you have to eat with your plate held in the air? If you leave food on the kitchen counter and go out of the room for a millisecond, is the food gone when you return? Your cat is saying the same thing with all of these behaviors: “What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine, too. Get over it.”

你的猫跳到桌子上，爪子按在你的手上吗？如果你继续打字，忽略了他，他会给你一副臭脸吗？他很清楚地说：“比我平时晚上宵夜时间晚了一分钟。”！你不知道我是习惯性生物吗？ 你到底是个什么样的猫管家？
Does your cat jump on your desk and paw at your hand while meowing plaintively? Does he give you the stink eye if you keep typing, ignoring his obvious distress? He’s clearly saying “It’s one minute past my nightly treat time! Don’t you know I’m a creature of habit? What kind of a cat butler are you, anyway?”

你感受到一个相同的主题吗？ 这是真的。 我敢保证，当猫想与你沟通时，十分之九，是关于食物。那另外一次他想说什么呢？ 很可能，是想和你讨价还价。 如：坐下来，我想劫持你柔软和温暖的膝盖。或者，我的垃圾箱需要你清理了。或者，请用刷子打理我漂亮的毛发。或者，我只是想告诉你我多爱你。
Are you sensing a theme here? It’s true. I will go out on a limb and suggest that nine times out of ten, when your cat is trying to communicate with you, it involves food. What’s he trying to say that other one time? Most likely, it involves you doing his bidding. Such as: sit down so I can hijack your soft, warm lap. Or: my litter box demands your attention. Or: get my brush and make my furs pretty. Or: I just wanted to tell you how much I love you.

是的，真的很简单。
Yes…it really is that simple.
