When it comes to choosing between dogs and cats, usually there are two kinds of people. The ones that adore the friendly, loving, loyal, and sometimes overly excited nature of dogs and the ones that love playful, active but independent feline company. We cannot deny the fact that both of them have some amazingly unique traits that make us love them but at the same time, there are some things that we could easily live without. But that's normal, isn't it? However, this time, let's talk more about cute but independent felines!

Picture this cutely hilarious scene: You're lying in bed, in the dark at midnight, half asleep. All of a sudden you hear these huge, loud and fast footsteps coming up the hallway, towards you. Your previously closed door creaks open, and someone walks to your bed. Something that feels like a hand traces up all the way up the bed until it reaches your face. You're sweating, "who is this creepy person? A robber? A pedo? WHO!?" But suddenly, the hand pushes itself onto your face... the hand is... furry? A sweet little "meow" comes from the 'hand'. You roll your eyes, and pull your pillow to the left, leaving the cats spot for her. This happened to me every night for 1 and a half years until she was taken from me, in an inhumane way. God bless you Tiny, and I still leave that spot open for you... if you ever come back... ever....

As much as some of us adore feline company, we've probably heard phrases such as "cats are self-seeking, cats do not cling to nor care about their owners, cats are treacherous," and so on. But we know that none of this is true. They are by no means such things but are very loving and extremely friendly pets! But don't worry, we're not here to tell you that cats are better than dogs as the answer to which is better still remains unknown.

    Whether they're napping together with kids, playing with old cassette tapes while their loving owner is listening to music, enjoying family trips, or simply playing with other felines. In fact, all of Grasso illustrations are so cute that it could have easily come from the pages of a children's book!

    The last time I was at the vet was with my cat who had been attacked the night before, the last time I was at the vet was the day I found out why was acting different, the last time I was at the vet I was told my cat's livers were internally bleeding, the last time I was at the vet was when I decided that euthanising my cat was the best decision for her. And I am here to say that if anyone reads this, if you have a pet LISTEN CAREFULLY. I know it's hard to handle a death, but you HAVE to be strong. When a pet is being euthanised, the last thing it will do is look around for its loved ones and just stare at them. Imagine you were so sick that it was decided to pull the plug. Imagine dying, alone and surrounded by strangers when you KNOW for a fact that your family is outside the room, waiting for you to die. That's what it's like for an animal to be euthanised while being awake. Do. Not. Leave. The. Room. I'm sorry I got off topic, but I needed to get that off my chest, thank you.

    My cats do this when I try to do my crunches and other floor exercises. Probably because they're tickled pink that I'm finally down on their level.

    My mom was taking her cat to the vet in a carrier and somehow Shadow got out of the carrier and up under her dash. When she opened the glovebox she could see him but he didn't come out. They had to remove her dash to get him out.

    My baby proved to be a car cat. Perfect road trip companion. Tried it after I met a stranger traveling to Denver, from Tennessee, while I was heading back to Tennessee from Denver. His wisdom taught me that cats prefer freedom and control over their own surroundings, just like humans. Just before I crossed into KS, and just after he crossed into CO. Moved from TN to FL, and she was an angel. PERFECT. She was a gem.
