[A Catty<\/strong> Introduction<\/strong>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n [Stardate 2023]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n When it comes to my likes, dislikes or dis-interest in certain animals, that depends on the pet\u2019s behaviour or the owner\u2019s attitudes \/ influences. That is, in my opinion (as humble as that may be<\/em>) pets can be reflective of their owners, to some degree. Nit-pick all you want or like. A fact is a fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My experience with one of my daughter\u2019s former cats (for example<\/em>) left me with the memory of a Cat From Hell!<\/em> – with an ironic name of Circus. Yeah<\/em>, just send in the clowns<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bunny, I knew from the moment of its Day-1 birth. It who later met a very tragic end, as a part of a stew. A traumatic experience for me. One where I learnt early in life that, one does not play with one\u2019s food<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there was Tiger, a mongrel, a son of a bitch<\/em>. After he died I dabbled with fishes and aquariums, budgies – until they became just \u2018other people\u2019s pet<\/em>s\u2019. But mostly because of the expense of frequent replacement of pets of which my children were often the cause of their demise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t think of myself as being much of an animal\/pet ‘lover’ type of person. I would un-hesitantly, eat a steak (no need to state a ‘beef steak<\/em>‘). Point? I have had shark-steak, ‘gator-steaks, fish-steaks (examples) but think that I would be repulsed to be served ‘cat-steaks<\/em>‘ as much as if they were ‘rat-steaks<\/em>‘. So, some perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comparatively, my wife is a full-blown Animal-lover who fawns over most animals. In fact, she attracts them where-ever she goes \u2013 around the block, in the park, or abroad. They hover like bees around flowers. She seems to attract humans to the same existent as she does animals, but with less bee-like hovering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of the way my wife attracts people and animals with her natural, friendly disposition, I am reminded of the Pied Piper of Hamelin<\/a><\/em>. He, too, had a way of attracting animals (rats, technically, are mammals<\/em> – aka rodents<\/em>) and children (technically animals<\/em>). Remember, when you dance to the music, you will, always, need to pay the piper<\/a><\/em>. Why do parents refer to their own children as Kids<\/strong>? Baaaa!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n On these pages you will come across tales of Cats – Our cats<\/strong>, the Clowder (look it up<\/a>), as unadorned as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s hear it for the pets in our lives! Whose house is it? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our House!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n
