I think my 2 cats wish they belonged to royalty. Even though I love them fiercely and treat them “royally “, I have no jewels to bedeck them. I think my cats feel they deserve the most precious jewels one could adorn them with. So spoiled!

Some cultures worship rats and snakes … disgusting . At least cats are adorable and clean

Whilst it is true that cats represented good fortune in Ancient Egypt, the origin of the reverence shown has its roots in cats' ability to hunt rodents and other pests which threatened the cereal crops upon which Egypt depended.

I wish animals had a lot more rights than they currently do, animal abuse should be punishable by death even if a toddler did the abusing, their should be zero tolerance for animal abuse !! 😃😃
