Learning from the Attitudes of Dogs and Cats

by Ron Kurtus (10 August 2000)

Dogs and cats have different attitudes toward life and their relationship with people. You might learn something from the following story.

There is a mini-quiz near the end of the lesson.

Animal conversation

A dog and a cat were having a conversation about their homes and the comforts of their lives.

Dog:

The dog said, "You know, I've really got it made here. I have a master who feeds me, cleans up my litter and provides me with a nice comfortable home.

My master must be a god."

Cat:

The cat replied, "I've got it pretty good myself. I have a master who feeds me, cleans up my litter and provides me with a nice comfortable home.

You know, I must be a god!"

Lessons learned

You can learn some lessons from this conversation:

  • Different types of animals, as well as people have varied attitudes toward their roles in life. This relates to their confidence, esteem and self-image.
  • It is good to appreciate what you have.
  • Your pets may be talking behind your back!
