I usually petsit dogs. This year, my new clients have been mixed households, dogs and cats, and the cats outnumbering the dogs. They are all lovely animals, but the cats DRIVE ME NUTS. Each one is has weird unique needs, and they all communicate with the same stare and flat, repetitive YOW. Now I know, if I LIVED with them and wasn't just a guest, I would come to understand in time what each one expects of me. (But some of the owners claim to be baffled as well.) I have lived with cats in the past, but they weren't mine and we always sort of ignored each other
Cats want three things: to be fed and watered, have doors opened, and their litter changed, and they don't care who does it. If you don't, they'll wander off and find another human who will. How can someone have loyalty and love for such a fickle creature? Yes, I know they bat their feline eyelashes and look gorgeous. So, is that the only reason to keep them? Pure beauty? Because if it is, I guess I can understand it
