Evil? Cunning? Demonic? Or, just misunderstood?

Cats get a bad rep most of the time, I’m sure…. Or, perhaps not. After all, we can’t read their minds or understand their intentions. But, maybe their overall purpose is just to be the opposite of dogs. Imagine if we only had dogs to choose from. So many people would be fine with that but cat lovers tend to want something different from their pets: cleanliness (no grooming) and not needing walks comes to mind! Perfect for apartment dwellers!

However, they are the perfect predator, so angelic is almost never a word applied to cats. So, if dogs are angelic and sweet mostly, then I think we know what the opposite of that is. So, maybe we just need to decide that not being a dog is enough. We love our pets regardless of their demeanor. And, we all tend to impart ourselves into them when we describe how wonderful they are. So, maybe we can decide that cats are whatever we want them to be and they are cool with that so long as the food gets put in the bowl!

A cat’s eye view of their world does remind us that cats are beautiful unless of course we are their prey. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! We cat lovers can’t stop gushing over how beautiful they are but to their prey they are the most terrifying thing imaginable! Looking at this photograph I took of my cat, I’m afraid they might be more accurate!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
