They Are Special

Generally, they are a fearless bunch. 
That doesn't mean that they are foolish.
Obviously, every species has a healthy fear,
for fear itself is a great survival mechanism.

This species I'm speaking of is alert and always
seems prepared to fight or take flight. He's not the
happy-go-lucky type. You have to earn his friendship
and give him due respect, never taking him for granted.

He knows what is rightfully his and doesn't mind demanding
the seat that you have occupied. He seems given to relaxation
and sleeps a lot, but that doesn't mean that he is lazy. For several
days I have with pleasure observed two of them on my property.

They walk together, sleep together, and keep each other clean. They
will work and earn their way. They are observant and know who to trust.
This species is not quick-tempered, but you do not want to push him around.
I have found cats to be very giving, but expect you to pay up when it is due.

Hi, Darlene. Thanks for your comment. I no longer have any kind of pet, but I admire, and I am proud of everyone who have pets, especially cats. To me, they are indeed special.
