[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It points out that it is us that are obsessed with cats and not the other way round.

My cat does not like to be away from her humans even for a short time.

So I argue with the idea that cats are not obsessed with us.

Obsession sells copy!

The concept is bonded, attached, healthy dependency.

Now that my cat is old, she’s spending more time resting, just like old folks do. She used to be an avid hunter of hummingbirds, mice, rats and her favorite, those huge moths that come around in spring.

I deeply appreciate her extraordinary hearing, qua watchdog. Uncanny how cats hear people approaching long before human ears. Also, their ability to tune each ear directionally is helpful qua watchdog. Finally I wonder often how a cat can sit under a loud tv, and tune it out while still able to hear on another hearing channel??

Obviously I love with my pet, obsessed no, just enjoying the pleasure of her company.
