Welcome back!

Have you ever noticed how complicated that politics has become? When a goal is in sight, the only way to it is confusing?

Well, having recently acquired a new cat for our house, my husband and I have had a chance to watch Kitty Cat politics in action. These politics in some ways resemble human politics. It was truly eye opening to watch it in action.

It all started with hiding. Not too long after there was hissing and growling involved. Each day, it was a very uneasy situation. My husband and I couldn’t interfere, because they to settle matters themselves. Glares were constantly exchanged. One cat (the new one) remained hidden under the bed. The other cat would sometimes slip under the bed and we’d hear growling. This went on a couple of days without any change.

Well, my husband and I had to bring things out into the open. We broke down the bed, got the cat out, then closed in the box frame so there was no longer an entrance. New kitty now found a new hiding place. Hunger lured her out; but, that was only temporary. Soon she would make more appearances for longer times. Soon there were open face offs between the new kitty and the older kitty. Slapping and hissing occurred when face offs happened. Soon however, curiosity got the better of both babies. When one was out, the other would hide or check out the other’s hiding place. Of course, face offs happened. Strangely enough, no fur flied, no blood flowed. As things progressed; there was less hissing, no more slapping.

As things stand now, the two cats play together, sleep together and eat together. There are even instances where tail tackling take part of both sides. I guess a wiggly tail is too hard to resist. There is general peace and acceptance.

Now, wouldn’t it be nice if people could negotiate differences as nicely as cats. There wouldn’t be blood shed. Why are people so hard to please? Being “catty” isn’t as bad as people make it out to be.
