I just found out if a cat eats chocolate it can die. I have a cat but he doesn't seem to want to eat chocolate because there is no fishy smell like fish

Don't particularly fancy a cat for a pet as I am not familiar with their social behaviour. Probably because people in the country prefer keeping dogs as pet

I love little kittens though I'm a bit wary of cats. I feel like I can't read them. My friend is a cat lover and she told me that whenever a cat is angry it wags its tail. Since I'm not good with cat cues, I try to steer clear altogether.
