Just Like a Cat
Sometimes I think that I was a cat in my past life.
Cats are very independent by nature and are thus solitary creatures. They can survive without anyone's help and they exist to please themselves. They will not do anything they do not want to do. But just like others, they also love attention and being taken care of. They are often thought of being aloof and distant, but this is only because not many understand them. Only those who truly understand them are capable of receiving the trust and love that they have to offer.
Those who know me would have to agree that I am cat stuck in a human body.
Have you ever introduced a new cat to your old cat? Chances are, they wouldn't be too comfortable with each other right away. Have you ever pet a cat who would be purring contentedly one minute, and then would try to bite you the next? Have you ever walked by when your cat suddenly hissed at you (because of redirected aggression)?
If you answered yes to any of those above scenarios, then you’re going to have to take my word for it that I am indeed just like a cat.
