What Cats Teach Us About Life?
Dogs might inspire you to go out on the run, while a cat will do the opposite. As mentioned above, cats like to sleep a lot — more than the average working person. Maybe, on a weekend or a stress-free day, we should take a moment to relax. Drop the errands momentarily, kick back on your chair, and sleep like a cat. If this type of life is not for you — get a dog too! You’ll get the best of both worlds.
