Cattitude

I am Princess's sister and I am gearing up for a fight. Please understand that we all share this Earth, and that we all have rights. There are those who believe that the survival of a species is more important than the life of a sentient being, yet they make an exception if the sentient being happens to be a human. Why? Who gave you the right to decide on our behalf? You are nothing special. You and us evolved from the same primeval muck. Compared to us, you are ugly and slow and messy. You invented cruelty, you fight wars, you are smothering the Earth with your garbage and changing the climate with your industry, you are destroying all of the planet's ecosystems with your irresponsible rate of reproduction. There are ten times more of you than there are of us. Why? Who said that was OK? Did you ask us for our opinion? And then you blame us when a species goes extinct? BE HONEST, PLEASE !!!

I am not as polite and diplomatic as my sister - I am one outspoken....cat! But I know that there are many humans who are really good people who would help us if only they knew of our plight. Please help us, we really need you! 

The guy who took my picture says "Better Large" - I say "If you dare look into my eyes and still think that we are different in any way that matters".

He also says "Zeiss Vario Sonnar 35-135mm MF lens, Olympus OM-D EM-1, ISO 1250, 1/250 sec at f/6.3." I don't care.

I am often embarrassed to be one of the humans.

Still a beauty and those eyes are beautiful.
Congrats on another WP!
