Think Like
a Cat: How to Raise a Well-Adjusted Cat--Not a
Sour Puss How can you have a great
relationship with your cat? "If your
impression of cat ownership involves filling up a
food bowl and putting a litter box in the extra
bathroom, then both you and your cat will soon be
very unhappy." Some people might get a cat
because they think that a cat will be less
trouble than a dog. Let's face it, comparing cats
and dogs is like, well, like comparing apples and
oranges. They are different, and they have
different needs. A dog is a pack animal that
needs a leader. By nature a dog expects to get
rubbed and wrestled with. Dogs like to horse
around. A cat does not. A cat is a solitary
predator and needs its space. But what both cats
and dogs do need is your love and attention. Just
because a cat is, by nature, independent doesn't
mean that he or she doesn't need your praise or
physical affection. There are a lot of myths
about cats -- like the one above -- that lead to
their mistreatment. By learning more about what
makes a cat a cat, you will be better able to
give your feline the space, care, and love that
he or she needs.
