      So true! Even when I used to leave town for few days, my friends and family would come by daily to open fresh cans of food, change the water and clean the litter box.
      So it's really true! Cats do have a staff!

      T-Zay They aren’t loyal. CAT brain scans and intensive research proves that. A lot of people can also test your claim that they are peaceful. They are in no way protective. Their biology and ancestry plays a major role. Most cats excluding lions hunt on their own. They even hunt each other. Cats are not naturally inclined to protect humans because it is not an instinctive trait of them.

    All my life I have considered myself a “dog person”. All the time my kids were growing up they had a cat or two, but they were the kids pets, I just provided the food. Four months ago I got the surprise of my life. I totally fell for a cat. A kitten, actually, a lovely little calico with the loudest purr and the adorable habit of sucking her left front paw...but only when she is lying on my chest while we both fall asleep. I’ve turned into a cat lady.

    What I love about the cats I've had in my lifetime is that they both love you and knock you down. They love you and cuddle with you and let you pet them and they're grateful for the things you do for them like feed them. But every now and then they do something to remind you that you're not the hot stuff you might think you are, because as much as they love you, you can't tell them to do anything. They'll ignore you, bite you, leave messes everywhere, smack you, and leave dead "gifts". They're a perfect beautiful and hilarious mix of love and indifference. I do see divinity in them.

I didnt gave her much attention accept washing her and give her food and water to survive. Then suddenly she came to me and showed her diastema while calling at me and she even came and hug my leg while I was on the phone. She showed me so much love and appriciate and made me fall in love with her. She even comunicated and understand me, she was so loyal. My father gave her name Sandy. The vet found out that she was 15years old and decided to let her sleep. I will never get over her my tortie queen. 🙏

      whatsopanime Hello :), yes i am aware that some people will feel that way. May i know why you think that way?
      Personally i have seen people arguing against it due to pity (eg. Every cats deserve to breed), ethical (eg. It is unnatural, i pity em), excessive love or fear (eg. Then they will extinct).
      I love cats, my house take care of 28 unwanted cats, till now only 11 are adopted which leaves 17 for my family to care. We're not shelter but we cant left them to die
      In my experience, the outside world is very harsh, i have seen cats being killed (maliciously or whimsically), tortured to death, involved in accident then left to death, prematurely thrown away and malnourished to death (especially kitten), roadkilled, honestly imo being preyed upon by wild dogs or eagles is a better option.
      As much as good-intentional people try, in my opinion we can't save all of them especially if their population is out of control. Let alone area where cats become pest, or alien hazard for indigenous species (eg. New Zealand and Australia, land of the flightless bird).
      If you have an idea on how to make better welfare to all kitties in the world, please do share it with us, for now i am advocating on population control, adoption, and humane treatment for all :)

      I think she's afraid she will be abandoned again. She was completely wild when I first saw her. It took almost a month before she would come near me so I put out food every day and hid behind a bush to make sure she ate it. One day I came out while she was eating and she didn't run away. She still had a raggedy old collar that was 2 sizes too small around her neck. She allowed me to remove it and pet her head. After that we were inseparable. She moved right in. :-)
