My main achievement yesterday is that I managed to pet a neighborhood cat that I thought was going to run away from me. Tommy is a bit of a bruiser who has no problem getting down and dirty in stand offs with the many dogs in the area. Yet, as he sat right in the middle of the path I was walking, he meowed at me to give him a scratch behind the ears. Hell yeah.
Gaining the trust of one of our feline friends is the definition of a simple pleasure, and it's also an extremely rewarding one. It goes hand in hand with the entertainment value that cats bring to the table, as gets demonstrated time and again thanks to the world of memes. If there's a kitty that you have your eye on that wants nothing to do with you, never fear. Looking at this selection of cat memes is a more than acceptable consolation prize.
