You and your cat might speak different languages, but you can still communicate with each other. Important clues such as the look in your cat''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s eyes, the tone of her voice, the position of her ears and the motion of her tail can reveal her feelings and intentions. You can learn to read these signals so you’ll get a good idea of what''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s on your cat''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s mind. Vocalizing: Your cat has something to talk about You''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''ll learn a lot when you can interpret your cat''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s wide vocabulary of chirps and meows. They''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''ll tell you when it''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s time to get up (at least in your cat''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s opinion), when he''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s feeling affectionate and if he''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s feeling threatened or is in pain. "Meow" is an all-purpose word. Your cat may be saying "meow" as a greeting ("Hey, how ya doin''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''?"), a command ("I want up, I want down, More food now"), an objection ("Touch me at your own risk") or an announcement ("Here''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s your mouse"). Some people have watched their cats walking around the house meowing to themselves.

This means she's enjoying this contact with you Does she shrink away under your slightest touch? Save the petting for later: She's not interested right now Identify communicative behaviors Some of a cat’s communication with you is based on how she behaves when she is around you Certain behaviors have consistent meaning among most cats A cat rubbing against you is marking you as his or her property A wet nose "kiss" is an affectionate feline gesture in which the cat taps her wet nose to you This means that she likes and feels comfortable around you A cat rubbing his head, flank and tail against a person or animal is showing an act of greeting Playful head-butting is a show of friendliness, affection Cats will sniff a person’s face to confirm her identity based on the familiarity of the smell A cat will rhythmically knead with his or her paws, alternating between the right and left feet, as a sign of happiness, contentment, or playfulness Kneading is an indication that your cat knows and trusts you A cat licking you is showing the ultimate sign of trust Your cat may consider you to be a part of her family, like a mother cleaning her kittens If your cat tries to eat your hair, she may be trying to "groom" you This means your cat really loves you and trusts you Some cats will show they really love you by copying what you You can test this by playing “dead” on the floor The cat may sniff or nudge you, then play dead too If your cat bites you with little force, it is a warning for you to leave her alone Source: http://www.wikihow.com/Communicate-with-Your-Cat http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/cats/tips/cat_communication.html Vocabulary: Each other: /iktʃ ʌðə(r)/nhau ( áp dụng cho hai người) Eg: Nam and Lan love each other one another: ( áp dụng cho ba người trở lên) Eg: They looked at one another with surprise 2.Reveal /riˈvi:l/ (v): để lộ, tiết lộ điều bí mật (=disclose) Eg: Her expression reveal nothing reveal+sth( to sb): tiết lộ cái gi reveal that…./It is reveal that….: tiết lộ rằng… reveal sb/st + toV/ to have+ st: tiết lộ cho cái gi revealable(adj): có thể để lộ, có thể tiết lộ Intention / inˈtenʃən/ (n): ý định, mục đích (=purpose) Eg:His intention was to earn more money and find a better court position for himself Intentional (adj): cố ý, có chủ tâm Intentionally (adv) : cố ý, cố tinh Signal /ˈsignəl/ (n):dấu hiệu, tín hiệu, hiệu lệnh Eg:Taking on debt might signal that a company is confident about futureprofits (adj): nổi bật, dùng làm dấu hiệu (v): hiệu, báo hiệu Interpret / inˈtə:prit/(v): giải thích, làm sáng to Eg: We each interpret our experiences and reality in a way that makes sense toeach of us Interpretation(n): sự gải thích , sự làm sáng to interpretable(adj): có thể giải thích được, có thể làm sáng to được interpretability(n): tính có thể gải thích được interpret +sth: làm sáng to cái gi Affectionate /əˈfekʃnət/ (adj): biểu lộ sự triu mến với Eg: They were narrated with an affectionate touch of humor Affectionately(adv): âu yếm, triu mến Affectionateness(n): tính triu mến Shrink /ʃriŋk/(v): co lại, có vào Eg: He should be talking to a shrink Shrinkable(adj): có thể làm có lại được Rubbing/rʌbiŋ/(n) : Sự cọ xát Eg: He was standing in the cold wind, rubbing his hands Property/‘prɔpəti/ (n): Vật sở hữu Eg: The valuation of this property is much too high 10 Gesture /‘ʤestʃə/(n): điệu bộ, cử chi Eg: Their unfriendly gesture infuriated us 11 Flank/flỉŋk/(n): Sườn, hơng Eg: We went to buy a flank for dinner 12 Paw/pɔ:/(n): chân (có móng, vuốt của mèo, hổ ) Across the garden, the big dog snorted and made digging motions with his paws REFLEXION I’m sure you understand how human intention and emotion work because you experience them both yourself every day But how can you tell what a cat’s emotions and intentions are? Most animals (including people) use “body language” as well as sound and smell in order to communicate with one another Many animals communicate by smell: they release pheromones (airborne chemicals) to send messages to others Pheromones play an important part in reproduction and other social behavior They are used by many animals, including insects, wolves, deer, and even humans!

have a different signification White Roses: White is the color of purity, chastity and innocence It stands for chastity, perfection and reverence The white rose is associated with new beginnings and

say "I love you," and are symbolic of unconditional love Red roses express deep feelings of love to a very special person and should therefore never be offered on a first date or to a person with whom one is not intimate Pink roses: There are a lot of variations of the pink rose Over all, pink roses are used to convey gentle emotions such as admiration, joy and gratitude Pink roses also connote elegance and grace, sophistication Pink roses are expressions of platonic love and friendship The pink rose is often given as an expression of beginning love or admiration, as it has a gentler meaning than their red counterparts Blue Roses: Blue roses not occur in nature Our blue roses have been painstakingly created and imbued with a special meaning Much like its mysterious origin, the blue rose means mystery The blue rose symbolizes the impossible, or the unattainable Since the blue rose itself is a rarity in nature, it stands for something that is hardly within one's grasp, an object that seems too difficult to be achieved They say "I can't have you but I can't stop thinking about you" Rose bouquets and their meanings A Dozen Roses: A dozen being the perfect number in many ancestral

flowers Flowers would convey messages of love or dislike depending upon which ones were given, their sizes how they were held, or also grouped together They had a silent meaning of their very own, and
