More and more I am finding myself drawn to the feline characteristics.
Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, Cheetahs and the like. These animals have always fascinated me, but the closer I look, the more I relate. There's the typical similarity encompassing the ability to "always land on your feet" ; "cats have 9 lives" (yes I have often manouvered my way out of many a precarious predicament) and so forth.
Another factor I have come to realise is their sense of independance. They like to be free, and they love to explore the environment on their own. There are various traits belonging to the different species of the feline but it is with a combined essence that I am familiar with. Their graceful movement, flexibility piercing eyes. I too will come seeking for affection when and if I see fit. Tickle my back and I may purr but come near my loved ones with apprehension and beware of the claw.
