I heard a quote recently, no attribution given. The dog says, my master feeds me, gives me shelter, takes me hunting with him, gives me affection. He must be a god. The cat says, my master feeds me, gives me shelter, lets me go hunting in the yard, gives me affection, I must be a god. The life of a cat is different from that of a dog. A different world. They can be compatible, and in most American households they are, but. They say that insecure men need a dog, to order around. Sit. Fetch, roll over, play dead, etc. They say real men have cats, as they are comfortable with the independent spirit of the cat. The cat doesn’t take orders from anyone, unless it’s something he wants to do. I have been accused of being insane, ignorant, on drugs and a thousand other ills. Some of it may be true. But my cat helps to keep me ever so slightly, ever so temporarily balanced? I hope. dc
