While cats may not have the best reputation of being “good” and obedient pets, they still are remarkable creatures. They are fearless. Once you have a cat at home, you will be astounded by the boldness that they exhibit. They will hiss at whatever threatens them and gear up to fight that very second. Contrary to the popular belief that dogs prey on cats, it can be claimed that cats are braver than dogs. They even scare away dogs, trust me! Unlike most people may think, cats don’t shy away from dogs. That is an applaudable characteristic. Humans are bigger than dogs and even they fear dogs sometimes. Cats are self-sufficient and are always ensuring their survival.
While they are known to prioritize themselves, some cats also save humans or other animals from danger, even at the expense of their own lives. It may not happen a lot, but those few times it happens are enough to leave us impressed.

“Fighting cancer is hard but I promised mum I would beat it and I will. Mum says I’m the bravest cat in the world and the brave always win, I’ve seen it in movies!”
“Our brave little warrior graduated observation today& is now cured of FIP!! It’s amazing what Win has overcome. We still have to face her IBD, but she is no longer “terminal”

“Little stray kitty came right over to me on her post-dinner visit to ask for snacks, so brave!”
“I had a cat who actually did save my life when a box fan set itself on fire while I was asleep. He woke me up SUPER FAST, and I was able to grab an oven mitt, unplug the fan, grab it & throw it on the concrete porch before the flaming blades had stopped turning.”
I have a newfound respect and admiration for cats. You instantly fall in love with cats for their cuteness, but to fall for their bravery and courageous nature is something else. Cats may not be obedient pets but they surely know how to shock their humans by their remarkable acts. My favorite story was the one where the cat alerted the human about the fire and saved her life. That was an inspiring one!
