How To Tell A Cat From A Dog!
The differences between cats and dogs explained!
Except for the fact that a cat is a four footed, furry domestic animal,
you should find little resemblance between a cat and a dog. The
sooner you discern this fact, the better!
Let us explain.
The relationship you have with a cat is entirely different from the one
you have with a dog. A dog will go all out to win your favor-the
cat is not even remotely interested in doing something just to please
you. If you are happy with HIM, that’s your doing, not his!
In spite of this seemingly self-centered approach to life, the cat is a very loving animal;
he craves your attention and affection, but he wants it on his own
terms. You train a dog. A cat thinks obeying commands
somewhat beneath his dignity. A dog’s personality varies
with the breed. Each cat however, is a true individual,
regardless of its breed. His charm lies in the fact that no cat
is like any other, and all are full of surprises.
Most cats want to be near you, but they don’t fawn over you.
They treat you as an equal. You can always be the center of a
dog’s world; you will never be the center of a cat’s
world. Unlike a dog, who is a born joiner, a cat is a born
loner. He is self-possessed, knows exactly what he wants and
where he is going. Independent? Yes. But independent in the
sense of being mature, not indifferent.
You appreciate a dog for his responsiveness to you-a cat for his
beauty, grace, and intelligence, combined with subtle signs of
affection.
So before you adopt a cat, be sure you don’t want a cat that acts like a dog. There is no such animal!
