BUT CATS ARE SOO BORING…….

Take it from a former dog only enthusiast…and one who used to think that cats were boring….

Cats are the farthest thing from a  boring pet.

I am going to use the past month of my life to show which pet actually wins my ‘dullard of the month’…

My dog first thing in the morning:

And this is my cat, sitting by his food bowl, waiting for breakfast.
