Cats choose their own destiny.

You might believe in fate, but cats do not. They believe in shaping their own destiny by choosing what they think is right. Cats are the masters of their own lives. Nobody in this world can tell a cat what to do because they will never listen. Cats are independent creatures. They do not like to be treated like a baby. You can not do anything with them against their will. If a cat does not want to be picked up, it will let you know that very violently if you forcefully pick it up. Similarly, a cat will not eat something it does not like. They are very picky. I mean, they were considered as gods at one point in ancient Egypt, so it pretty much makes sense. They walk around like they own the Earth. You can not keep a cat in your house if it does not want to stay there. They go wherever they like and do whatever they want. So if a cat is staying in your house and being affectionate towards you, do not for one minute believe that you chose them. The truth is that they chose you. If a cat chooses you, consider yourself very lucky.

If you do not know what I mean when I say cats choose people, here are some examples of cats choosing their humans. Scroll down below to see them.
