Art of living- The Feline Way

After spending a better part of the evening staring at an industrious cat lazing away on the neighbors roof I have come to the realization that –God is not only divine but feline too. And there is no better life then a cat’s. Wait! Before you go all “skeptic” on me- I have had plenty of cats as pets and not-so pets while growing up to base this little piece of introspection on.

Now, a cat’s life consists of sleeping, eating, hunting and sleeping again- with procreational activities thrown in between. It’s a fairly simple existence, unlike our headache inducing stressful one.

They can curl up and get comfy in any surface – they can lay on a rock and make it seem like better then your Curl-on mattress. Oh and the snoring/purring. At least I could hear my cat from a foot afar. Not to mention the occasional muscle creaking joint popping stretches that seem to make you nauseous with envy. Well at least it does to me.

But the most important point is that a Cat lives its life on its own time, for its own pleasure and your (human) thoughts about it can go to hell! Who is whose pet! A cat won’t give you the time of its day unless it needs anything, namely food. And it’s definitely not going to wag its tail when you come home. And if it does, be careful – it’s angry and might scratch you!

So in conclusion, I would like to officially state my intentions of being born as a tom cat in my next life. People (Cat) up there, please consider!
