After watching my neighbour’s dog and cat for six months, I – a dog owner once upon a time – have reached a conclusion that a cat is a more interesting pet to keep. It is independent, agile and seeks minimal emotional attention. Left to its own, it can take care of itself very well, and with grace and dignity. Having said that, I am joining the crowd of people who think that keeping pets or confining animals in zoos is unethical. Let these creatures be. Control their population on the streets and in forests in a preventive manner but stop commercial, profit driven breeding.
