Cats are not smart :P

I know there are a lot of cat lovers out there who go on blogging about how wonderfully smart and talented cats are, how cats  understand a lot of things, your mood and blah blah. But it is not true. Cats are not smart, their memory is as weak as some ant, seriously after being scolded slapped shouted at for doing the same thing, if they keep repeating it, there is definitely some problem with the brains.

My husband had a dog and he says dog remembered everything, he knew when my husband would come, he knew where not to go, sit , jump, play. He told him and the dog would never do it again. So this triggers two statements from cat lovers- either dog is dumb enough to follow instructions and remember them so the master won't get angry and their superior cats are smart to not listen to one who feeds them and go around messing things so they can be shown out door or may be they think they are too cute to get their way back. Their is loads of crap about how cats are individuals, we should respect their individuality , appreciate their freedom and choice of coming to us when they want to.

The only conclusion that came out of my experience with cat is they are mean, selfish and way too aloof. I mean sure if you are old or alone and need something like human to fill the space with, have a cat. But if you want a pet, a real loving one, get a puppy. I had five of them and they would simply follow me for no apparent reason of food or shelter. They just loved and wanted someone to play with. My husband enters and lola won't even pay attention some days, i hate it because he expects her to at least come and meow but she won't , but when she is hungry or sleepy, she just rolls around him, on his lap, on his neck. This is what she does all the time. Its like a human baby, they poop , they pee, they eat but they want to play with other kids and only return home when they are exhausted or hungry. So weirdly similar. Hmmm, i am not angry, i am just wondering at the difference in nature of pets. 

Since she has grown, she wants to go outside so so bad she keeps meowing for an hour if she has to. We leave her in the garden and mostly we find her roaming anywhere but garden, no where close to our house. She never wants to come in except when she is hungry or wants to sleep. That's the kind of behavior i read about when people said they treat us like staff. All she cares about is her comfort, her play time. Its like she is in heat too. She keeps rolling on floor, doing strange awkward things and meows when in garden.  I am pretty sure one of these days she will jump up the fence and run away. Just vanish with some other male cat. 

Huh, but that's what animals are supposed to do, i have made my peace with it. I know one day she will go and never look back.What scares me the most is if she gets pregnant or gets hurt playing in wild. Believe me, they are not smart, they are just wild and would eat their owner if it comes to it.
