How To Live Like A Cat In Cape Town

Cool, composed, and strictly creatures of comfort, cats see life through a different lens. Humans spend their lives chasing fame and fortune. Cats know true luxury has nothing to do with productivity, it’s about preserving your energy for the stuff that actually bring you joy. Adopting a feline mindset is the real secret to everyday happiness!

Think like a cat to live like a cat. Here’s how:

Delegate

Cats don’t make their own tea, do their own printing or have to make their own PowerPoints for meetings. Instead, they carve out time for themselves, outsourcing the minutiae of life, like getting food and paying the bills, to humans. This makes the humans feel important — they are indispensable to someone else’s life. You can recreate this at work. Too often, managers fall into the trap of constantly checking the work of their employees. The result is wasted time, loss of autonomy for employees and too much work for the boss. A cat would never do this.

Stop over-thinking

Cats know how to let go. They have no sense of time, so they don’t stress, rather they focus on the moment. As a result their minds are unburdened and they are free to enjoy themselves.

Accept yourself

Cats don’t wonder about what it would be like to be another cat or a different animal, say their ex’s new girlfriend or their friend who’s just got a new job they are envious of. They know these questions are pointless and can be destructive. Instead they are proud of who they are.

Adapt quickly

Cats always land on their feet, literally. This is because they know that getting their act together will mean they are free to enjoy the important things, like stretching out and lounging in sunny spots.

Stop and listen

A cat’s acute senses of hearing, sight, and smell make them master navigators of their environment. While humans might lack those wild survival instincts, it is worth tuning into the surroundings when exploring the city streets of Cape Town like a cat on an urban safari.

Assert yourself

Step on a cat’s tail and you will know, either from their agonised yowl or a claw in your leg. No one holds this against the cat because they have established their right to space.

You do you

Have you ever tried to make a cat go against its will? Exactly, it’s impossible. If you don’t feel like doing it, don’t. Channel this feline energy next time you want to pass on a pricey night out or say no to an admin-heavy task at work. People respect boundaries and honesty just as much as they respect a cat’s total indifference.

Rest and relax!

Mastering the art of doing absolutely nothing is second nature for cats. From suburban backyard tabbies to big and wild cats, impromptu pamper sessions and cat naps are non-negotiable daily rituals for felines of all sizes.

Free yourself from judgments

Cats are blissfully exempt from social anxiety. They don’t care about their reputation, they couldn’t care less about status, and they certainly don’t worry about which Kat Kliek they belong to. And it’s paid off. Cats are excellent managers who don’t need to shout. Their presence alone is enough to command the room, and they certainly don’t waste energy trying to look busy.

Choose your own company

Cats don’t pretend to like people who are a burden to them. Cats know who is essential to their quality of life and will be loyal to them, showing empathy. Otherwise, the feline claws come out!

Avoid animal haters

Cats sense bad vibes and toxic energy instantly. Feisty felines tend to ignore or annoy humans who dislike animals or pose any threat to their royal peace. Do not engage with such sad humans. There’s no cure!
