Cats offer a masterclass in unapologetic self-care, boundaries, and finding joy in the simple things. Napping for hours is not lazy; it is essential for recharging your energy. They teach us to enjoy the little things: a sunbeam on the floor, a quiet corner, or a simple box can bring total contentment.
They also teach us that you do not have to pretend to like everyone or stick around for things that don't interest you, and to trust your instincts and your ability to bounce back when you take a big leap.
As Ernest Hemingway once noted, "A cat has absolute emotional honesty: Human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not."
It's been said that a dog can understand and respond to as many as 210 words and gestures. A cat is somewhat limited in that it only recognizes around 30 or so words, and doesn't give a fuck about any of them...
