Cat Lover? Dog Lover? Animal Lover.

Cat Lover? Dog Lover? Animal Lover.

I wanted to touch on this subject about a month now. I had been noticing girls/woman (part of womanology) on whether are they Cat or Dog Lover. I notice a current trend, though there’re still more dog lovers than cat lovers, there seems to be increase of cat lovers, either by deciding that should keep cat or they switch from keeping a dog to a cat. This trend had been seen most significantly on the age group of 25-35 working adult ladies.

What is the different between these two? I would like to explain using an analogy from a dear of mine, a fellow Christian from FCBC. She asked me once am I a Cat Christian or a Dog Christian. This is the question that her Senior Pastor posts to the fellow congregation. Here’s her explanation.

A Cat Christian is like a cat, He/She will not know that you love Him/Her, or loves you back until His/Her demand are met. Meaning, a cat will only respond to you when you showered enough care and concern to it.

A Dog Christian, like a dog, will love you whole heartedly even though you forget to bring Him/Her Food, bathe Him/Her, walks Him/Her. He/She will wag His/Her tail at you when you come home, bring you your morning papers; even take care of your children. (Think Lassie).

Actually I am a dog person, though I still learning to be a Dog Christian, a Dog Lover (note, this Dog Lover do not refer to someone who love dog but a lover with Dog Characteristics). I dreamt of sometimes owning a dog in my dream house, calling it Fido, Milo or Ah Boy. I would most probably own a Jack Russell.

I saying I’m a Dog person, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t like cats. I do like them; I just don’t like them enough to want to keep them as pets. Cats are feisty, they have a bochup attitude. They are independent; they tend to surprise you in the way that you have to react and up your alertness in term of taking care of them. Dogs on the other hand, tend to be on the duller side (when they are come of age, most breed lah). They tend to be more predictable and easier to meet their needs.

But generally saying all these, I consider myself an animal lover. When I was young, I stayed over with my grandparents in Malaysia. Staying in a kampong, I played with chicks (little chicken, not girls), pigs, ducklings. I came across a python that was as thick as me then. Monkeys jumping at my kampong’s zinc roof. I like to go to the zoo a lot when I was young, and I always thought I was a monkey.

Yes, no matter whether are you a dog lover or cat lover, it’s your love for animals that counts. All this had been said with the reports of some guys torturing and kills over at bedok side. Thank God he’s apprehended.
