I Love Cats !
These beautiful animals are very loving without losing their own personalities or independence. True, the domestic cat relies on us to feed and care for him / her. We keep these little fluffs of fur warm in our homes, stroking and cuddling them, letting them know how much we love our little pets. And they too show us their love, purring and 'talking' to us, playing and running around and generally loving our company.
What about the wild cats ?
The lions ? The tigers ? Cheetahs ?
Each one is unique in its own way. The cheetah IS a cat, the fastest land mammal on Earth, and yet it is built like a dog. The tiger is the largest of the cats, bigger than a man (if it could walk on 2 legs). The lion, like the wolf, lives together like a family, in a "Pride." The lionesses are so 'close' that they will even suckle another's cubs. And again, the lion will hunt and feed as a 'Pride.'
We can't stroke or cuddle these wild cats but we can watch them and look at their pictures in the books. The documentaries get as close as we humans can to these lovely and unique animals, and we (as humans) do 'care' for them. Hunting lions and tigers is now banned worldwide ! The National Parks and Zoos are helping to build up the numbers of these adorable wild cats.
I still love cats, even the wild ones !
