Think Like a Cat

Description

Summary:

How can you have a great relationship with your cat? “If your impression of cat ownership involves filling up a food bowl and putting a litter box in the extra bathroom, then both you and your cat will soon be very unhappy.” Some people might get a cat because they think that a cat will be less trouble than a dog. Let’s face it, comparing cats and dogs is like, well, like comparing apples and oranges. They are different, and they have different needs. A dog is a pack animal that needs a leader. By nature a dog expects to get rubbed and wrestled with. Dogs like to horse around. A cat does not. A cat is a solitary predator and needs its space. But what both cats and dogs do need is your love and attention. Just because a cat is, by nature, independent doesn’t mean that he or she doesn’t need your praise or physical affection. There are a lot of myths about cats — like the one above — that lead to their mistreatment. By learning more about what makes a cat a cat, you will be better able to give your feline the space, care, and love that he or she needs.
