I really like my cartoon cat, I can’t say that I like cats but the cartoon is cool. I know that the Felis Catus is one of the less cool carnivorous mammals although it is quite the domesticated specimen of the Felidae family. I don’t know that this small animal that has cousin are all wild I don’t know if I agree that just calling this sort ‘domestic’ makes it any better or more distinguishable from the relatives out in nature and not in your home. I don’t believe it for a minute that this house pet is any much different from the ‘feral’ variety free ranging and fooling the rest of us that it’s not coming into contact with me or bothering my daughters who are currently scared to death of cats.
I recently of the term “catio”? What an interesting idea to provide for your cat an outdoor recreation area that will be enjoyed without the risk of harm coming to the cat or worrying your own pet is going to getting into trouble roaming the neighborhood. There a many ways that we can take the temperature on any given society and wonder if Mahatma Gandhi had some insight into one possibility with his quote, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” I am a huge fan of being a good steward over the things we have in hour care, and yes this does include the animals with whom we adopt into our lives. I can’t say I agree with the humanization of pets or the idea that they are our “children”. I think we need to think responsibly on all commitments we take and all living things needs our full attention and the way we treat all living things is a very accurate estimate of a moral barometer. Now that I’ve been way to philosophical I would like to remind that I am encouraging you enjoy a fun little cartoon drawing of a cat and I encourage you to draw along!
