I've been writing about Dogs and Cats for some time now, and it's paid off in various ways. I don't have a cat, but I've lived with one with my husband, and when I was a teenager. I think my thing is that I just don't 'get' cats the way I 'get' dogs. Cats do intrigue me though, and they are totally beautifully creatures.
I understand dogs, I know why they do things. I guess I know why cats do things too, because they can! Cats can do almost anything and get away with it. Sometimes the Pharaoh Hounds seem quite cat like, particularly when they have the scent of someting and their thinking brain switches off. I think cats are more in touch with their basic animal nature than most dogs are. And I think Pharaoh Hounds are more in touch with their animal nature than Schnauzers are.
As I've said before, Schnauzers don't turn off the way Pharaoh Hounds do when they get the scent of something to chase. Don 't get me wrong, the Pharaoh Hounds are lovely, they're just not obedient the way a Schnauzer is (or should be). The Schnauzer wants to please the boss, the Pharaoh Hound, like a cat, think it is the boss.
Slight change of subject - I heard on the radio yesterday a story about a new breed of cat being introduced to Australia. It's called the Savannah Cat, and it's a cross between a Serval and a domestic cat. The Serval is more than twice the size of a pussy cat, and it's a hunting machine, like all of the wild cats. This seems so wrong! The breeders in Australia say the bush won't be overrun with pitiless hunting machines, but what if???? It sounds bad to me.
