Good morning, Darnright!

I certainly understand your revulsion when you see a cat stalk and kill. It is a bit disturbing, even when it’s a mouse or rat.

Nevertheless, it is also quite fascinating. I don’t often get to see it myself, but when I do, I can’t help but think of this quote:

“God made the cat in order that man might have the pleasure of caressing the tiger.” ~ Fernand Mery

Having a cat is like having your own personal Nation Geographic special right in your living room.

Regards,

Hi VK,

You are correct about revulsion seeing the carnivores, both feline and canine, with which we humans share our lives, being carnivores. I find it a bit frustrating that we dog owners are quite accepting of the rules about uncontrolled predation by little Phydeaux, while some people feel cats should be allowed to decimate whatever warmblooded victim they happen across.

Sad to say, my personal pint-sized tigerlet must resign herself to moths and spiders she finds in the house. Poor abused kitteh!
