Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
People expect pet cats to “just hang out, which isn’t realistic,” says Melissa Chan, behavior specialist at the Houston SPCA. Cats are naturally active animals, she says, and “one thing I wish I could tell every cat owner: Cats want to work for their food.
I didn’t want to dignify Melissa’s condescension with a response, but I’m just too miffed.
I sleep 16 hours a day, and I’m a go getter compared to the cats I see on Big Cat Diaries. How sedate much she be if I’m “naturally active?”
Furthermore, I want to work for my food? Look, I love chasing fake mice (who doesn’t?), but what does that have to do with tasty tuna or Greenies treats?
She does make a decent point later in her piece: for reasons I can’t explain, I do get a kick out of touching hands with my nose. I’d do fist bumps too, but people never seem to greet me that way.
