I am a huge fan of animals in general, but cats have a special place in my heart. Ever since I was a little girl, I’d wanted a cat. I liked that they don’t require the incessant attention that most dogs do, that they were generally a certain size (just cuddly enough yet not too heavy to carry around), and that they don’t smell (to me, anyway). Once my parents finally gave in and we adopted cats, I learned of how extraordinary their personalities are. I had a lot of fun playing with my cats, even the ones that were a bit more stand-offish. Sometimes it was enough just to watch them. If you’ve ever seen them speed around a corner, jump over fences, or any other number of athletic and acrobatic acts, perhaps you understand the majestic way they tend to do things.

I think cats are often misunderstood by all those “other” animals-lovers out there who claim they don’t like cats. Just give these creatures a chance and even the infuriatingly senile manage to find a way into your heart. I’ve had cats that were so loving that I always had emotional support and I’ve had cats that were sometimes borderline neurotic (and sometimes full-fledged crazy). Still, each one is brilliantly unique and their strong personalities make for some great times and stories. I think their quirks are just what make them awesome; taking the time to discover what makes them tick allows for some very deep bonds to form. Plus, they’re (usually) such graceful creatures with an air about them that is awe-inspiring. No wonder they were worshipped in many cultures. An animal that can command respect like that is pretty great.
