The cat is the most patient of creatures. She plans for hours, even days, how to catch a mouse or tease the dog. She waits, she sleeps, she dreams, and then she pounces. Cats speak in quiet voices, but they always manage to get themselves heard. Cats show us how much we can accomplish without yelling, shouting and screaming.
Cats never seem to be in a hurry.
They sleep about eighteen hours a day. Yet nothing is left undone. They hunt so effectively that an outdoor cat can decimate the local bird population. If a female cat has kittens, she is a doting mother who teaches her offspring many lessons. Anyone who has cats and dogs in the house knows that the cats rule.
