The Cat as Metaphor





The Cat as Metaphor

My cat, Gigi, has improved in appearance and sociability since I’ve begun to dole out her victuals in small quantities. She’s shed a pound and in spite of ripe middle age, has become more agile and personable like a kitten.

(Apparently, filling her bowl once daily caused her to overeat and become lazy and fat.)

Let’s consider the metaphor: A little struggle in life can be a blessing. A cat or a person may overindulge and develop a feeling of entitlement when receiving everything offered to them (too easily or on a silver platter).
