The cat...
Throw a stick, and the servile dog runs and pants and stumbles to bring it to you. Do the same before a cat, and he will eye you with a cool, polite and somewhat bored amusement.
I respect the superior animal which lives its own life and knows that the stick-throwings of human bipeds are none of its business and beneath its notice.
The cat charms you into playing for its benefit when it wishes to be amused; making you rush about the room with a feather on a string when it feels like exercise, but refusing all your attempts to make it play when it is not in the mood.
That is personality and individuality and self-respect !!!
The calm mastery of a creature whose life is its own and not yours !

I very much admire the independance of a cat
Every pet has it's own personality and I find the stories most amusing...thank you for sharing.
Coco and Nick may not catch sticks but they must be good in other things
I used to have cats when I was still living with my parents. They were cute. Sometime I was playing with them and there was one who had never forgotten to "wave goodbye" every morning when me and my brother went to school. She was so cute.
I once spent a night at my friend's place and her cat was accompanying me to sleep and she was really cute too. I love to hear the sound when they are breathing hrrr hrrr hrrr
Long live the cats. Meeow
Dogs make very faithful pets
I always had dogs, growing up... our family cats all had a tragic end, my parents stopped replacing them
Now as an adult I simply prefer
