What does your cat do to give off such positive vibrations and become the focus of so much admiration? Nothing. YOUR CAT SIMPLY IS. And that’s the cat’s biggest lesson: if you wish to acquire a little more animality and charisma, simply be.

when your cat approaches you of its own accord, it’s thinking, ‘I know that you love me’, not wondering, ‘Do you still love me today?’ This certainty is part and parcel of its aura, its charisma, its charm and its beauty. It is one of the reasons why you love your cat.

The cat who has chosen you will first have tested your affection, your personality and your loyalty. If this cat feels you to be essential to its current and future life, it will love you and remain loyal to you, out of choice. Life is too short to share it with idiots.

A friendship can be as powerful as a romantic relationship, if not more so, in that it often lasts much longer . . . Sacrificing friendship for the rush of love, on the pretext of adhering to society’s codes that dictate we should all ‘settle down’ once we reach a certain age, is already in itself a kind of calculation, an attempt to appear to be ‘doing the proper thing’. It’s also the best way of ensuring that, if a break-up occurs, your friends will no longer be there to support you.
