There are animals that perform. Dogs. Parrots. Dolphins on leashes.
Then there are cats—those beautiful, unapologetic bastards that simply are.
Cats don’t do tricks. Cats don’t ask.
They exist like smoke in sunlight.
Elegant. Fleeting. Impossible to own.
Royalty That Pays You a Visit
You don’t own a cat. You get visited by one.
It doesn’t care if you’re having a breakdown or just solved world peace.
It’ll sit beside you if it wants to.
And when it’s done, it’ll vanish into some shadowy corner like it was never there.
That’s not cold. That’s boundaries. That’s self-respect wrapped in fur.
The Last Anarchist
While dogs chase cars like unpaid interns chasing purpose,
cats watch from rooftops with narrowed eyes,
judging the entire performance.
A cat doesn’t hustle. A cat doesn’t bark for love.
It naps in sunbeams like it’s meditating on the fall of empires.
It stretches like it invented yoga and then walked away from it.
Cats are anti-noise. Anti-neediness. Anti-bullshit.
Every Movement Is Intentional
Dogs flop.
Cats place themselves—like punctuation in an otherwise boring paragraph.
They don’t knock over your glass for fun.
They do it to test gravity.
To remind you that nothing is permanent.
They don’t scratch furniture—they edit it.
They’re not misbehaving. They’re making a statement.
They See Through You
A cat has stared into the void—and decided it’s not impressed.
It looks at you and knows you’re full of unresolved trauma,
a fake laugh, and at least three unfinished projects.
It won’t say anything. It’ll blink slowly.
As if to say:
“Yeah, I see it. But I’m not here to fix you. Just don’t move too much.”
Death Is a Quiet Exit
When cats die, they don’t make a scene.
They vanish. Dissolve. Slip between dimensions.
No cries. No dramatics. Just an empty sunspot and a phantom pawprint.
Because they were never yours.
Just a brief visitation. A soul that stopped by to remind you how to live.
The Feline Gospel
Cats are poetry without words.
They are rebellion without protest signs.
They are the gods of quiet resistance.
They won’t teach you a thing.
But if you pay attention:
- You’ll move slower.
- Speak less.
- Sit in sunlight like it matters.
- Leave when you’re done.
They don’t come when called.
They arrive when the universe aligns.
And if one chooses you?
That’s not love.
That’s forgiveness.
