Every cat owner believes that his or her cat understands every word that they say. Every cat owner believes that cats are far more intelligent than dogs
- theyre just too cool to show it. Every cat owner believes that their cat should be on TV starring in advertisements for everything from furniture & carpets to central heating & yes cat food. & those Andrex puppies have had it their own way for far too long... Every cat owner in fact is a cat lover. If theyre not cat lovers when the cat first comes along
- you dont purchase a cat they choose to live with you
- then they will be within a very short space of time. There are stories of course that every cat owner loves to tell. It may be that the cat became hugely & unusually distressed the day a relative died unexpectedly on the other side of town. It may be about how the cat is a constant source of comfort during bad times or how the cat faces up to urban foxes in the garden. It may simply be a story about how the cat is a loving companion. Cat lovers simply love telling cat stories.
