Christmas Cruelty (Rick's Post)

Ladies and gentlemen,

Christmas is supposed to be about love and kindness. We are supposed to be losing ourselves in the joy of giving.

It is not a time for torment.

And by torment, I mean this:

Those of you who know me, know that I am a cat lover. Clearly the person putting clothes on this cat underestimates the majesty of the feline....and its desire to rip the face off the people who demean it! :)

Really?!?
CleoCATra?!?

This utter disdain felt by the feline is in sharp contrast to the feelings of the canine. Dog lovers will surely agree with me that most dogs goodnaturedly put up with being dressed up in ridiculous clothing. They simply want to please their humans

They simply go through their doggy lives thinking, "Do-dee-do-dee-do, my owner is very happy. I must be beautiful. Maybe I will get a treat later. Do-dee-do-dee-do." Nothing wrong with that; dogs just aren't big on dignity.

Not so the cat. Dignity is very important...and their memories are long....

The same holds true for affection given. Cats want to love you on THEIR terms. They do not care if you are sad/happy/lonely. They only want to be held...and then God help you if you don't stop EVERYTHING to do their bidding and give them your undivided attention.

So...here's my point. Stop dressing your cats. They don't want to be dressed up like dolls. They are too good for that. And don't scoop them up and squeeze them.....they will come and butt their heads against you, jump on you and meow incessantly when they want your attention.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy another video about what makes cats so great:
