Betty LaRue Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Can’t say I love cats in general. I like cats. I don’t love paw prints on my car, I don’t like cats on kitchen countertops, nor scratched up furniture. And I don’t like cats using my flower beds as a private litter box, killing my plants. But I loved my cat, the one I had as a pre-teen. Divinity, and she was devine. I was mostly a dog person, (now a parrot person) and they do more than bark and obey. Some defend you, mine plastered to me when I was ill, never leaving me. And she did everything in her power to please me. And her in Intelligence was off the chart, my little Yorkie.

However, as lovable as cats can be, they are serial killers. I hate what they do to birds. P.S. Cats usually like me. I even "owned" one for awhile, a stray that I rescued from a dumpster in the middle of winter. Yes! The next to last cat I had killed a Baltimore Oriole, and I found her a new home. The last cat, I used his serial killer instincts at our horse barn to kill the mice. He did a great job. Then there was the cat from the neighborhood that broke into our house to murder and eat my beloved parakeet. We had a window A/C with insulating foam in the gap. The cat pushed the foam through and got in. I was done with cats after that. No more chances. I almost put that one on death row, but my soft heart couldn’t follow through. It did get a slight kick in the derrière. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough not to admire how self-contained and in-the-moment they are. I often wish I could be more of a "cool cat" and less of an emotional mess in certain situations. A popular theory suggests that humans first domesticated wild cats to help keep rodents away from food stores. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the other way around - cats domesticated humans to provide tasty food and warm sleeping places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Those cats were not only cool but smart as well. Then there are corporate fat cats. They are definitely not cute and adorable.
