The truth about cats and dogs..mmmostly cats :)

Considering my crazy liking towards the live fur balls that hiss and scratch sometimes..I do hope I can do some justice to them through this post.

I must have had a zillion arguments with my friends who go "Urggggghh CATS..Cant stand them..selfish self obsessive creatures..they just don't give a damn to you..'
or " Cats..NAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII....pls plsssssssss..DON'T GET THAT THING anywhere within a 5 km radius.." "that cat scares the !#$$%%^%#6 (read daylights..What did you think??) out of me..
Reallyy...people..give me a break..
I personally feel that one needs a higher level of maturity and enlightenment (am I going overboard here?) to appreciate the not so humble feline.

Take a cue from the Egyptian civilization. I am sure you all agree that they were a great race..They figured out how to build pyramids, sphinxes..went places..got a permanent place in our history books..and what else did they do??? They worshipped Cats! I soo love the Egyptians.

I am certainly not advocating people to replace the pics in the pooja room with that of pingaa, huch lakshmana, poopie, blacky , spotty, oscar or shadow..(pheww...I have to stop..cant list names of all the cats I have known in chronological order). All I am asking is to open up your eyes and if possible your hearts.

Cats are really good company. Trust me. As kittens they can entertain you for hours. Just toss over an old pen or a crumpled piece of paper, and watch them. They will be delightfully jumping all over the place. Fact is that they are not really trying to entertain you..they are simply practicing their hunting skills. Just that one can find these practice sessions pretty entertaining :)

That is about being a cat..they really don't "DO" anything for you. You certainly don't 'own' them.
A lot of dog enthusiasts complain that cats aren't "loyal" or they are "self centered". All I have to say to them is that cats are definitely not servile, and they will not feed your ego.

They don't consider you their master. Its almost like they rightfully deserve to live in your house as mush as you do.Its truly a 50-50 deal (or is it 75-25) between your cat and you. :)

They are intelligent, independent, and enigmatic, basically purrrfect companions.
You can have all the benefits of having pets in the most convenient, non fussy manner.

The benefits of having a pet surely outweigh the little inconveniences. Just check out this link if you need further convincing.
