that instinctive fear the suspicion inherited from a long line of ancestors who had very real reason for fear cats greatest pleasure next to satisfaction of his hunger is to be a part of the household he wants to come and go as he pleases but home and regime mean more to a cat than to any other of the lower creatures he is the greatest luxury lover and is not at all blind to your part in providing
