My cat for sure taught me more than I could ever teach her. I’m so grateful she knew how special she was to me, because I doted on her every single day. As a runt, she was small but mighty, extremely smart and definitely out of her mind. Get another cat? She attacked me believing a stuff animal was real. Costumes and accessories? She wasted $30 in her youth breaking those pet necklaces I purchased. It wasn’t worth the inevitable fight to put her in clothes, that’s why I stopped trimming her nails.
One of the biggest lessons you can learn from a cat is self-respect. Mistreat a cat, they’ll leave your ass and search for a new family. They also have no problem vocalizing their demands, like waiting patiently to get fresh water, because they found a single mote of dust floating in their bowl made of real china.
Jagger was a beautiful girl, who loved nothing more than getting attention good or bad. Extremely spoiled she also taught me be as stern as possible when they fit in your palm, otherwise you’ll have a brat for life. Smh. Also a cat’s trust is earned not given. Be like a cat, know your worth, set boundaries and stand your ground. Via: TheWitchOfTheForest
