By scratching up the bark of a tree (or the leg of your favorite chair) the cat is letting other cats or people know where she is and what she is up to.Cats tend to pick a small number of noticeable objects in their environments to scratch such as trees, fence posts repeatedly. 72 The scratched surface leaves a highly visible mark that can be easily seen by other cats. In addition, cats have special glands （腺）in their paws so that when they make scratching movements they leave scent（氣味）that the cats can smell. The fact that cats leave scent marks by making scratching movements may be the reason that cats will continue to scratch objects even after they have been declawed. 73 We don’t know exactly what cats are municating with their scratching. Both males and females do it.

Cats also scratch to extend their bodies, during play, and possibly as a greeting 。 I have been happily married for 60 years.

As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.60．What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?
