Dear Human 💕,

I noticed you’re trying to avoid conflict. Look at it this way: conflict is just two creatures seeing things differently. It happens all the time and you can’t avoid it.

• I would like have food at least every two hours. You would like to feed me only at three specific times during the day.
• I would like you to be up by 8:00 AM on the weekends. You would like to sleep in. 
• I like to jump on the game shelf. You think I should not.

We meow at each other and we figure out what works for everyone:

• We agreed that I get dry food in the morning and at lunch, wet food for dinner, an evening treat, and a midnight snack. And sometimes extra treats on meow during the afternoon.
• We agreed you can sleep as long as you want on the weekends.
• We don’t quite agree on jumping on the game shelf. For now, we agree to disagree.

So, instead of avoiding conflict, embrace it. When you embrace conflict, everyone’s needs can be  considered. And yes! That includes yours. Meow about what you need and respect what other creatures need. It’s give and take.

Yours,
Cat 🐾

P.S Humans are terrible at mind reading. You need to meow your mind for them to know what’s going on.
