I judge entire neighbourhoods on how amenable cats are. If a cat chilling on the footpath is pleased to meet me, then I'm calm. If a cat sitting 50 meters away from me responds to my friendly greeting chirp by backing under the nearest car with flat ears and a sunken tail, I assume the humans around it are garbage people and I need to get out. Cats are to the streets as frogs are to the rivers.
I assume they're referring to how the presence of frogs is an indicator as to the cleanliness of the water. If the river is highly polluted no frogs will be present.
I personally only visit neighbourhoods where the frogs respond to my chirp of greeting by rolling around on their backs and allowing me to pet their tummies
When a cat and I both pretend to be too cool to notice each other but also walk in the same direction for a while. Happened ages ago, still riding that high.
I was once walking down the hallway in my house, and passed my cat going the other direction, and I said "Hi, Zuzu!" and she meowed back, and we kept walking on our separate ways. I thought, "I am now actually communicating with my cat!"
And I was. She was the smartest cat we ever had, and extremely expressive. She even had a sense of humor. She would play jokes and pranks on me to get me to chase her (she liked at least one good chase a day).
No, it’s when they rest their little chin on you and do a big sigh. 😻😻😻

Whats that about frogs?

This is precisely what I meant, and I'm glad it came across. 💙

My bonehead orange harasses me constantly. If i start talking to him while under siege from a volley of howls, he will just howl MORE.
FAR TOO NOISY.
