The Fun of Rearing a Cat

Cats are not sweet. They are selfish. They have undesirable tantrums. They are not loyal, unlike dogs. But cats do something that can surely charm you from loving them. That power can only be decoded from their facial expressions.

 

The Curious Cat: Well, cats are indeed curious.  Dogs use their nose to find an answer, cats use their eyes. Observe your cat sitting on a chair or on a table. You have probably noticed how its eyes circle around the house. You won’t see it blink until it sees its target. It is usually attracted to a small thing that moves around or a sound coming from nowhere.  Even mosquitoes are victims.

The LOOK of GUILT. Before the curious cat caught its target, it has, of course, made some troubles. It either dropped the vase from your table or hid the pair of your slippers.  Call your cat and let it sit on the couch. When you scold it, it will surely show you the look of guilt. It will sit there for a long time till you let it go. 

PUSS in BOOTS. Yes. Puss in boots exists. But, it doesn’t really gain its power when he wears his boots. They use your boots as their hideout. If you cannot find your cat roaming around your house, don't panic. Just go where your boots are. 

The BOSS. Cats love to be pampered. They really love it when you stroke them. But, still, don’t expect them to be sweet. They would always think that they are the boss. “So, stroke me now!”

Is it mealtime? Look at its hand preparing to jump off the table. She knows that her meal is ready.  Compared to dogs, cats will not show overexcitement. They will still act calm even though their tummy is grumbling. 

Innocence can be seen when eyes are closed. When cats have tantrums, all you wanted is to see them sleep. No matter how loud the noise is, it will never ever wake up until it reaches its wake up call.

Cats make peace. When you feel down, they will be there to calm you down. So, would you still hate rearing cats?
