To Love an Animal

Everyone sees the world in their own special way. This even applies to us- humans. No human is alike; however, we all share similar physical, emotional, and intellectual features that other beings simply do not have. This is why we, as humans, admire animals. They differ from the average human we see every day. Some enjoy the fear instilled by eight-legged, furry spiders, others find solace in the comfort of a puppy. Two authors, Hoagland and Woolf, admire two unlikely animals- turtles and moths. They enjoy the innocence and blithe of these two contrasting organisms. They enjoy the feeling of becoming absorbed in its actions. 
I, on the other hand, admire cats for several reasons. They begin as kittens, or small fur balls of awesomeness. They become elusive, daring, and idiotic, always keeping their owner guessing. Sure, sounds like any teenager, however, there is one major difference, according to theoatmeal.com.

"When they reach the age of 15, KIDS get hormonal, pimply, and start blaring crappy music to cope with their "pain".
When they reach the age of 15, CATS die of old age. This sounds terrible, but it immortalizes them as being perfect. The flame of a cat's life burns fast and bright---they're like furry little cruise missiles." -theoatmeal.com

And unlike humans, cats are almost always fun to be around; they're playful and always looking for attention.
