Cats have needed a new face card for a long time. And OG Anunoby may be exactly the kind of advocate they deserve. Trust me, as someone who has had cats in my life since I was seven years old, I have noticed the way they’ve been misunderstood. For centuries, cats have been tangled up in superstition and strange cultural stereotypes. We get it, cats do their own thang.. and we love that about them. Independent, don't touch me unless I wanna be touched, I'll come to you when I feel like it. This is actually what we love the most about cats. Cats are fascinating, funny, playful, cute as hell and the most cuddly when they want to be. And regarding outdated stereotypes: Those of us who actually live with cats know how ridiculous they are. Cats are majestic, hilarious, deeply intuitive creatures. They are independent, yes, but they can also be incredibly affectionate and extraordinarily attuned to the people they trust. I would go so far as to say that my cats have helped save me during some of the hardest chapters of my life. They have been there through breakups, moves, career changes, uncertainty, depression and the inevitable highs and lows that come with spending decades working as a writer and journalist. There is something incredibly grounding about coming home and knowing another living being is there waiting for you. They remind you that you are not alone. And for a long time, I could never understand why anyone would shame someone for loving an animal, or why people could pass so much judgment on a beautiful, sentient being simply because it was a cat. Thankfully, something is changing.
