| Re: cats - a suitable pet?
Yes-cats are the perfect pet, less maintenace than caged pets, less input time and energy needed than a dog, they keep all manner of pest down in and around the house and act as a good small natural predator (if a cat kills four of a brood of eight blue tits, its going to get the four weakest/least aware/deformed or whatever individuals- the better ones live, plus none of them might even exist in the first place if humans hadn't put out fat balls all winter for them so its hardly a natural situation all round). Plus they are exquisitely beautiful and adore spending time with humans. They evolved with man and helped, along with dogs, to make us the monsters we are today. This is Man's world and they are here to stay. People who hate cats- to the point of irrationality, are in the exteme minority in my experience, though they do like to brag loud and long about how many cats they have hurt or killed, maybe as a form of bullying, I don't know.
I feel it is an honour to share my life with them and will never change my mind.  |
