Cats are lovely, pretty, affectionate and majestic animals. From the Lion to the house cat, they all possess a special trait that makes them irresistible to many. In this article I'm going to talk about the house cat.(pussy cat)

Cats are lovely animals no doubt, and they have been a major character in history, sadly they have been misunderstood.

In many parts of ancient Nigeria, cats were believed to be witches, owning to the fact that they are Night animals. The Night was usually associated with evil and things if the underworld.

Whenever people saw cats outside their homes especially black ones, they start praying vehemently against the believed to be demon cat. The cat is accused of being easily possessed by witches and evil spirit and can cause harm to someone who is not . Some associate the crying of a cat at night to evil , accusing that it cries like a baby, some say it's eyes looks like those of a snake, some , it only moves at night and a host of others.

The crying of a cat is normal. When female cats are in heat and are looking for mates, they tend call out loudly some pur and some cry like babies.They also do it at day time but mostly at Night when they are most active.

The eyes of a cat are oval shaped to give it better night vision.

Cats sleep most of the day and are mostly active at Night cause their major prey(rats) mostly moves at night and in the dark. They sleep most of the day so they can hunt at night. The idea of witches possessing cats are stupid , sadly Even educated people fall prey to this lie. If witches have such power they'll most likely possess stronger animals like snakes.

Cats are loveable, adorable and cute animals which can serve as great pets. They are clean and proud. A well trained cat is an asset to any cat owner and I think it's high time we give cats a place in our hearts.
