CATS HAVE THE COURAGE

I can certainly relate to this:  "We're  all motivated by the same urges.  Cats have the courage to live by them." ~~Jim Davis

There is no denying that cats are intensely self-centered.  Some of us find them independent and resourceful, others call them arrogant and unpredictable.  Everyone knows they are inquisitive and playful, but that the tricks they learn are for their own benefit--they simply like doing it or get a favorite treat.
  Cats are creatures of routine and become easily upset by any sudden changes.  For instance my cat, Harry (a gray tiger stripe), patrols the roof of my house daily, sometimes spending the entire day so engaged.  He can be heard leaping from point to point and may occasionally hurry in to run up-stairs, make a tour, then return to the roof.  When he is sure that all is well, he has a favorite spot to rest and watch.  Can you imagine his frustration last summer with some roof repairs going on?  He over-came that to face an early, snowy winter.  What's a hard working cat to do?

  1. I admire cats. They are dignified, reserved and do their own thing.
