9 lives is just a myth... or is it? Once they are buried, they don't dig themselves out to take back their lives where they left off. But who can honestly say or prove that they are not simply reborn as another kitten elsewhere in the world? There are so many cats in the world, so many wild felines some of which are in danger of becoming extinct. No one can prove it either way, nor should we try to, for some things are better left alone.

What we must try to do, weither we love them or not, like them or not, is to respect and understand them a little better. To protect them. They do not take our love as unconditionaly as dogs, they are independant and able to care for themselves as long as a mommy-cat taught them (see about the cat who trusted his vet for more info and proof). They are often persecuted for no reason other than being born. But understand that cats are people too (so are all living creatures in their own evolutional stage for that matter)!!!

Stop persecuting them, abusing them, torturing them, testing on them, de-clawing them, shaving them, leaving them to die, they are NOT disposable toys that you get for your kid and abandon the next day because the kids aren't willing to play with them anymore.

Just like having a child, having a cat is a long-term commitment. This one though lasts only between 13 and 20 human years.

of my cats, be they past, present or future.
