be a cat..

Saat gue lagi jenuh, tiba-tiba teringat lagi buku "Be A Cat" yang pernah gue baca semasa sekolah dulu. Seingat gue, pengarangnya berasal dari Korea. Buku yang tidak pernah gue temukan lagi. Anyway, sewaktu gue iseng mencari buku itu di Internet, gue menemukan banyak artikel mengenai filsafat menjadi kucing -Cat Philoshophy-. Dan yang paling lucu adalah ketika membandingkan kucing dan anjing.. Well, as a cat lover, is so damn funny for me...

And here they are;

Cats are to dogs what modern people are to the people we used to have. Cats are slimmer, cleaner, more attractive, disloyal, and lazy. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as some people (expensive girlfriends, for instance) that it's often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.
- P. J. O'Rourke
