Since today is National Cat Day, it is only natural I blog about cats.
I have never been a fan of cats. The only cat my family ever had was a black cat named Midnight—creative name, I know.
Midnight’s hobbies included isolating herself in the basement and biting me.
We had Midnight while I was in preschool and kindergarten, so my mom told me they were just “love bites” to spare my feelings. I suppose it isn’t a very motherly thing to tell your child, “The cat just hates you.”
I have never really understood people who prefer having cats as pets to dogs. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
In my mind, choosing to live under the same roof as a cat is the equivalent of choosing a to live with a really moody roommate.
A cat is like a roommate who feels she is too good for you, locks herself in her room all day, and then when she finally comes out of her room to grab something from the refrigerator, she says some snarky comment that has the potential to ruin your day.
I would personally prefer the roommate who is happy and enjoys spending time with me. But, that’s just me.
But since today is National Cat Day and not National Dog Day, I should give cats and their human admirers a little more respect on this day.
Here is one cool cat I would like to be my new best friend:
Seriously, I have never seen a more chill animal in my life.
I am in awe the owner is getting away with this without having his eyes clawed out. I have mad respect for this cat and its owner’s choreographed and well-executed dance moves.
