Always On Their Own Terms

It's true.

Cats are totally, unequivocally always on their own terms.

Eating? On their own terms. Snuggling? On their own terms. Being pet? You guessed it - always on their own terms.

This is fine, and probably one of the main reasons I enjoy having cats as pets- their independence is less insulting than the attitude of a dog who follows you around absolutely everywhere demanding attention like a small child.

It's even more awesome when cats change their owner's lives because of their terms. This happens to me in the morning when my cats get hungry. There's no way they let me sleep when they've got it in their small little brains that it's feeding time.

Observe this:




This awesome cat is so on his own terms that during this timelapse video he spends most the time just annoying his owner, as if to say, "You can't sleep now. I don't want you to. you have to sleep only when I say." Now that is cool.
