Why We Should Be More Like Cats
March 19th, 2008
Sometimes I get jealous of my cat. This happens most often in the early morning when I have risen at an ungodly hour to go to work. It’s at this point that I usually feel like my bladder is about to explode. My cat loves to come in the bathroom at this time to greet me. Then I start thinking how good he has it. I get to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to go to a shitty job that sucks the life out of me, and he gets to lounge around at home eating, and sleeping, and eating and sleeping. And purring. It’s a good thing he’s so damn cute, otherwise I would probably hate him.
I’ve loved cats since I was a child. I just think they are cool. Everything about them is so chill. They do what they want, when they want and they don’t care about having to please anyone. They can be incredibly friendly and loving one minute, and then complete bitches the next. They play hard to get. They live by their own rules and they live according to what they want to do, not what they have to do. You can’t get any more bad-ass than that.
This is not so much an ode to cats (although I do love them -perhaps a little too much), but rather an expression of my admiration for their sort of lifestyle. Cats have it made. We should alter our lifestyles to be a little more like theirs. I am so incredibly jealous that I have to go to work all day when my sweet little cat gets to lounge around, watch birds out the window, sleep 16 hours a day, and lick himself when he wakes up. Now that’s a sweet life…

Ha, Ha, Ha, *lol* You made me laugh with this post. Sometimes we get jealous of our pets since all they do is hang around and be pampered and fed all their lives. They don’t have to go to job and be a slave for eight hours or to take care of a demanding spouse and children and do all the household chores.
Well, that’s life. Probably you’re just burned out and need some relaxation. When the pressure builds up, we may have the wrong notion of just wanting to live a cat’s life. Ha, ha, ha, *lol* Beware the gods may hear you and you may reincarnate in the body of a cat. How will you feel then? He, he, he, Just joking. Have a nice day.

It made me laugh too! Actually it just made me angry thinking of a cat’s lifestyle. Sleep in, walk around, play a little bit, take a few naps, and maybe eat a little.
It sure beats the get up when the alarm goes off, commute to work for an hour, sit at a desk all day, and commute home for an hour lifestyle!
