The Hunt
Cats don't need people
but know people need them
Unlike dogs, they can easily live on their own
Of all the feline species,
the housecat is the most efficient hunter
They can scale a tree in mere seconds
when fleeing or pursuing in earnest
A squirrel wouldn't stand a chance...
People do not adopt cats, cats adopt people
People are a convenience not a requirement
Cats don't pay heed to feeling and emotion
I admire their independence
The cats' first partners were the Egyptians
They received occasional food and shelter
in exchange for rodent population control
Cats will quickly become feral to survive
Of all mammels only rats have adapted better
Most likely both will be here after we are gone.
Sometimes I envy cats
Cats exist totally in the present
with no future and using the past only as a tool
They are completely at peace with their world
Cats are not as intelligent as humans
A cat's only choice is to be exactly what it is
