Priceless yet often misunderstood, prejudged and unjustly despised animals, cats are. And they’re beautiful; maybe even more precious and innocent than humanity collectively deserves.
Many can appreciate pet cats’ beneficial effect on the human psyche that most people still cannot fathom thus appreciate.
Yet, only when their overpopulations are greatly reduced in number by responsible owners consistently spaying/neutering their felines, might these beautiful animals’ soothing, if not therapeutic, presence be truly appreciated rather than taken for granted or even resented.
Also, I’ve found over decades that with our four-legged friends there’s a beautiful absence of some undesirable and distinctly human traits. Along with human intelligence comes the proportionate reprehensible potential for evil behavior, i.e. malice for malice’s sake.
While animals can react violently, it is typically due to reactive distrust thus dislike. But leave it to humans to commit a spiteful act, if only because we can.
