Attack of the bandit cats
No idea what’s the title all about? Well. Didn’t expect you to.
That was the title of a book which I last read. It was a feat. I actually finish all 42 pages. Every single word. From the cover page to the publishing house to the back of the book to the barcode.
Don’t laugh.
It’s a children’s book. So what? When was the last time you even complete a book? At least not as detailed as me. *hmph
anyway, my thoughts:
it’s too expensive
$9.90 a copy. And that’s after discount. Only paperback copy.
Children’s books still revolve around animals.
We have so many other things to write about. Must it always be animals? Must we traumatize the young ones?
I finally realized why I got my phobia and repulsion towards animals.
Cats still want to eat rats.I don’t get it. Do you ever see a cat chasing after a rat? Or a rat being chased by a cat? Either way, no right? So why has children's book and cartoons talked about dogs go after cats and cats love to chase rats all this while?
Cats are still depicted as stupid.
In this story (as in any other cats and rats story), the cats perceive themselves as being as more intellectually superior. their reasoning?
Bigger physical size = Bigger brains = Smarter.
Well. Cats have all along been kinda dumb. *think Tom and Slyvester.
Plus, Cats
deserve to being stereotyped that way:
For squatting at my doorstep and effectively locking me inside my own room. And for the many times they attempted to stalked me at the void deck.
I don’t discriminate against animals. It was a mere
discussion.
Small minds discuss people, average minds discuss things. Great minds discuss animals.
