2 Years of Service
I too have two cats. Black furred strays we took in a decade ago. One is an absolute coward that hides the moment our door is knocked on, the other is a serial cuddler who will spend hours sleeping on you if you let her.
My two cats are children and grandchildren of a stray cat we took in. Unfortunately the grandma is now in cat's paradise. The two other are old cats too now, both are more than ten years old, so i fear the time where they will died. The mother still do a bit of hunting and the younger still do some mischief from time to time. But most of the time, those days, they don't do much, except sleeping, grooming, eating, cuddling and asking for more affection, attention and petting.
All these dog and cat comments (a few pages back) got me to thinking. It's well known that if you die that the dog will morn you -- the cat will start eating you - literally within a couple hours of your death. So maybe check on the old cat lady down the street more often.You must be registered to see attachmentsYou must be registered to see attachments
Dog had been select to be dumb and obedient, like many species who live with humans. On the contrary, cats domesticate themselves, they choose to come into humans home by their own will and on their own conditions, they are more intelligent and independent than dogs. The ideas that cats only have a "exchange of service" relation with humans has been debunked many times by science. Cats can love humans just like dogs do.
The difference is that this love isn't unconditional, but should be earn. That's something dog people sometimes have trouble to understand, that why they so often misread cat body language too. Cats are a lesson on consent.
Personally i'm a catgirl and then most cats like me. I come in a room for a first time and there is a cat. They immediately come sit on me.
