I feel like cats deserve more credit than what they are given. After all, cats are amazing. Cats are often compared to dogs, which is a weird comparison, considering they are two totally different animals. Cats and dogs are both equally great pets in their own unique ways. However, when cats are compared to dogs, cats get a bad name and reputation. So let’s talk about how cool cats are in their own way.

I love cats. I grew up with cats, and I have a million memories with my fuzzy friends. Cats also live forever, so as long as they are healthy, tons of memories will always be made with cats for years to come.\

My childhood cats are Moe and Lilly Truscott (yes, that’s right, from Hannah Montana). Moe is still living his finest life at 15 years old, and Lilly acts like the Queen of England at the age of nine.

Moe currently has the personality of an old man, which is understandable — he’s ancient. He takes long afternoon naps, watches Jeopardy regularly, meets with his friends for euchre club every Tuesday and at night, he likes to settle down with a hot bowl of cat kibble designated to help his kidneys function properly. Every cat aspires to be Moe.

When I was little, Moe had a very busy schedule, because I would dress him up for photoshoots most days. His go-to look was a purple tiara, which was always very classy. Moe has since retired from modeling.

Lilly, on the other hand, has lived a much simpler life. Lilly kills moths to keep down the population, takes naps on her throne (a sofa) and for fun, she likes to pretend she can climb trees. She likes to keep her weekends open to meet single cats in her neighborhood.

Overall, every cat has its own personality, just like Moe and Lilly. Some cats like to go swimming; some cats like to travel in cars; some cats even like to be walked on a harness. I talk about my cats like they are my own children, and I hope everyone gets the chance to have that experience with a cat. Cats definitely require more patience than a lot of pets, but once we connect with a cat, it is an unreal experience in the best way.
