The cat has been a fascinating animal for many people for centuries, and yet not everyone can properly explain why this is the case. Moreover, where one person is even afraid of it, the other cannot keep his eyes off it from beauty or character. Whether you are a cat lover or not, there is hardly any in-between way with the cat. It remains a given that there are many people who cannot properly describe why they like the cat so much? what’s up with that?
Watching cats
The cat is not always very social towards people, she does what she wants and therefore comes to you when it suits her? and not the other way around. That would make the cat less fun than, for example, the dog, and yet it is not. The cat has a special place with the enthusiast and one can observe a cat endlessly. If you search the internet for a short while, you will find thousands of videos of cats crawling into boxes or falling out. Climbing up somewhere that is not allowed, fooling the dog (playing), keeping an eye on the neighborhood from the windowsill and sometimes forgetting that there is glass in it or falling asleep wonderfully entwined with a child. We watch it en masse and every day we find new videos.
A variety of (pedigree) cats
Partly because of this fascination, several breeds from the different areas have been perfected or even crossed over the course of time. The choice of cats today is therefore enormous. Slim short hair to large solid long hair and everything in between. Sometimes so pronounced that there are ‘mistakes’ in these cats. Just think of the extreme nose of the Siamese or the flat, blunt nose of the Persian.
Fortunately, the breed characteristics are also about the character of the animal and people naturally have their preferences there. The breed clubs are now doing their best not to use errors in nature as a criterion (anymore), this was different in the past and extremes were actually extended (with all the consequences this entails in terms of health).
Incidentally, having papers for the cat does not say much about the health of the cat, because it can still be an animal that has come about through inbreeding. The pedigree papers of the cat are seen by many breeders as leading, but unfortunately the fair often counts. A purebred cat also yields a nice amount without a pedigree.
Quirky
The dog is docile and although many people find that pleasant (just shout and the dog comes), many people actually like the waywardness of the cat just as much. Most cats don’t come when you call them. Perhaps if you prepare some treats, but in general the cat decides for itself whether she comes or not. Not infrequently, the cat suddenly comes to sit with you at an unexpected moment.

The cat also looks for other (new) environments, often it is just curiosity. This then puts them in precarious situations and often the cat has to be rescued from something or she still wriggles out. But yes, the cat seems to have several lives, so she often ends up well (on the legs).
Frightening
That idiosyncratic nature of the cat sometimes gives some people a frightening image. Because there is also a group of people who find the cat scary. She is fast, seems to oversee everything, has large eyes that can look at you emphatically and we are not even talking about the black cat that would bring bad luck.
Actually, the black cat with the bright yellow eyes is often very beautiful, with eyes that, as it were, stand out against that black fur. But the man or woman who is afraid of the cat cannot see its beauty.
A boyfriend
What we often ignore is the fact that the cat can also just be a friend. A cat is very sensitive and also feels very emphatically in humans how he or she feels at that moment.
For example, if you are in a depressed mood, the cat may just visit you. For example, lying next to you or jumping on your lap. The cat comes close to you, for example to comfort you, to divert your attention, etc. We don’t know exactly how and why, but that it works is something that is certain. It certainly has an effect in one way or another, both in adults and certainly in children.
Finally
The cat has many faces and in one way or another humans find that very interesting. The cat is a streamlined and beautiful animal and has a clear mind of its own ?? which gives a total picture of a very desirable animal and absolutely fascinating.
All this means that all those millions of cats that live on Earth have quite a few followers. Truly an animal that has been known throughout the ages as fascinating.
