Lets get introduced!


Have you ever wondered what it is like to have a Cat?
Today, i am going to talk about our purry furry friends, the little fur balls - CATS.
Now a days,almost all the households have a pet. Not only has it become a status symbol,but also provides companionship to the lonely whilst creating a very positive and friendly environment in the house.
A dog is the most common pet that can be found in most of the households,but you might find a cat too in a few! (like mine,obviously being the reason why i am writing this?).

In India, cats have always been misunderstood as being evil and negative. A big line of myths and superstitions follow them. However it is not the case.There is a reason how they developed the image they have right now. But does anyone ever tried to find that out? certainly,no! And that's why they carry a negative image of cat. When I decided to pet a cat, many people objected and questioned my decision.They would advise me that keeping a cat would bring bad luck to your house, things will start falling apart and everything else that the society believes in.But, I was firm on my decision and planned not to change it. And, guess what? Everyone was proved wrong.
Nothing fell apart, Good luck came to my family and everything nice happened.I didn't see anything bad or evil or negative as such? But I always wondered that when cats are so nice and bring so much positivity in my life then why and how did these superstitions are there? How did they come into existence? Who made them?
All these questions lead me to a journey. A journey filled with a lot of questions to be answered.
It taught me how black cats were associated with witches,which being the reason why they were portrayed so negatively (and still are!). Were they really negative? Did Witches used to be bad and evil?
There's a answer to every question!
And when I got the answers, I wanted the world to  know it too. And so,that's how I ended up researching all about the feline creature.
