Why do the bad guys in movies so often sit in high back
chairs and stroke white cats? It could very well be that cats are naturally
inclined to evil and that the bad guys are soothed by the animal that is most
like them.
I know that this may be a controversial opinion but the
implications extend beyond my own preferences so I think I have to press
forward. Of particular concern is the
impact on impressionable young people. I am constantly faced with the conundrum
of sharing the insights I have acquired about cats and letting people discover
truths in their own time.
What adds additional complication is when young people have
already established their own affinity for cats. In these situations I need to remember that it
is not my place to transfer my view (even though I think it is correct) but I
also don’t want to let opportunities for conversation and mutual understanding
pass by.
As I said earlier, it is a conundrum.
