Cats Are Majestic
They are dainty, snooty, and elegant. And though these four-legged furballs may sometimes endear us with a cuddle or two, we will never be their ‘owners’! When it comes to cats, there can be no questions about who calls the shots in the relationship!

Felines Can Be Friendly
Cats are however needlessly stigmatised as being ‘unaffectionate and standoffish’, compared to dogs. While cats, on average, do tend to be more selective on who they bestow their affection, they can be just as friendly, social, and cuddly as dogs with their ‘hooman’ friends! There are some breeds also known as ‘velcro’ cats, as they tend to stick close to their human companions just like Velcro (a fastener brand) and are generous with their affections! On this International Cat Day, let us introduce you to some of the super-friendly cats!
