Cats choose their own destiny.<\/h2>\n

You might believe in fate, but cats do not. They believe in shaping their own destiny by choosing what they think is right. Cats are the masters of their own lives. Nobody in this world can tell a cat what to do because they will never listen. Cats are independent creatures. They do not like to be treated like a baby. You can not do anything with them against their will. If a cat does not want to be picked up, it will let you know that very violently if you forcefully pick it up. Similarly, a cat will not eat something it does not like. They are very picky. I mean, they were considered as gods at one point in ancient Egypt, so it pretty much makes sense. They walk around like they own the Earth. You can not keep a cat in your house if it does not want to stay there. They go wherever they like and do whatever they want. So if a cat is staying in your house and being affectionate towards you, do not for one minute believe that you chose them. The truth is that they chose you. If a cat chooses you, consider yourself very lucky.<\/p>\n

If you do not know what I mean when I say cats choose people, here are some examples of cats choosing their humans. Scroll down below to see them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis random cat came in when I was just getting inside the house, following me up to my apartment. I gave her some milk and now she won\u2019t leave. I guess she\u2019s my cat now.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cI lost my white deaf cat after 6 months of living with him (1.5 years old), he found me and adopted me. Today, exactly 1 year after we first met, another white deaf cat ran to me, climbed on my bike, and would not let me go without some love. I do believe in something greater than me now.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cI tried to talk my husband into getting a second cat. He wasn\u2019t keen on the idea. Then we went camping and this handsome fellow found us and camped with us our entire stay. When the campsite owner said he was a stray and had been hanging around for months, I knew he was coming home with us! Meet Rufus.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis cutie came from outside and asked for food. We fed him and he left. The next day, I was going up in the elevator. When the doors opened, I saw him waiting for me. The rest was kind of a blur.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cI found her in France 4 years ago. She was starving so we gave her some food. But she kept coming back every morning so we decided to take her to my home country (the Netherlands).\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cI work at Starbucks and was taking my lunch. I walked out to my car and this little guy ran up to me, meowing and wanting to be picked up, just a few feet from the door. Eventually, my wife had to come and get him. Guess I have a cat now!\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis is Pusspuss. I do security at stables and live on-site in a trailer, and Pusspuss was a stray who lived here. Today, after 18 months, he sat on my lap for the first time. He adopted us because he\u2019s always hungry.\u201d<\/h2>\n
