After discussing Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs in a recent article, I thought it would be useful to take a look at Maslow’s needs for felines.

The first thing to note about cat needs is that there is no hierarchy. When a cat has a need, it BECOMES THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in that cat’s life, and therefore starts to become important in your life, if for no other reason than you want to get back to spending time with your Real Doll.

Cats need each of the following things:

• Food
• Shelter
• To help feed the family by bringing dead insects to your attention
• Water
• Air
• To walk across your groin while you sleep
• Sex
• Security
• A comfortable place to sleep, preferably by your heel while you cook.
