    A guy I played chess against once told me that “a home without a cat is just an empty shell”. Funny, my own cat looks just like that other cat!

    @yumiyukiyoung The real reason people don’t like cats is they aren’t dependant on us, they are very independant and intelligent creatures, that scares people on a deep psychological level.
