Aries: The Stray Cat (March 20 - April 19)

 

1. A temperamental and active creature, the Aries Cat is the most exasperating of the Zodiac, whose impact is formidable as he or she rushes through life, leaving a trail of demented impressions behind.
2. This intrepid and adventurous sould s constantly busy and considers the world to be full of new horizons…all within the reach of the Aries Cat.
3. Physically, this feline is the epitome of the species, being lithe and athletic with a superb coat and a resolute gait. Perpetually on the move…climbing, jumping and flying…he or she is determined to make the most of the proverbial nine lives. However, the Aries Cat is prone to headaches, which often strike suddenly and quickly.
4. The cure is a rest period, but persuading this cat to take one is far from easy since the creature rarely sleeps, considering catnaps a complete waste of wonderful time. Those who own an Aries Cat sometimes have a tendency to forget that they have a pet at all. This feline will seldom be home, far preferring the freedom of the great open spaces.
5. Indeed, the occasional empty feeding bowl may well be the most anyone will see of the Aries Cat…or perhaps a tail disappearing through the cat-flap.
6. The high days and holidays will be the rare times when this cat chooses to remember he or she possesses an owner and decides to hang around for a moment or two…which will be quite enough.
7. Shredded curtains, snagged clothing and upholstery, and dents in all the cushions will leave an owner with plenty of clearing up to do until the Aries Cat decides to drop by again.

 

The Aries Cat has no desire to spend evenings in a mutual haze of “stroke and purr” with his or her owner and a well-balanced, two-sided partnership between human and cat will never be within the range of this creature. Basically a loner, if forcibly confined to the lap of one who feels the need for company, the Aries Cat will quickly convert from a feline to a writhing bundle of needle-ridden fur. Nonetheless, this cat is capable of considerable warmth and affection, when he or she feels in the mood…probably in the middle of the night on some far away roof top. Intolerant of other pets (viewed by the Aries Cat as intruders), it would be wise for owners to keep any pet birds or goldfish under lock and key…if not, there is bound to be trouble. It is not unusual to hear the Aries Cat hissing at any other cats who may have strayed into his or her territory and this feline is frequently covered with battle scars…perhaps even a piece or two missing from the ear. In the wild, the Aries Cat would either be the leader of the pride or second-in-command to a Leo Cat. This feline needs to be treated as an equal and suffers from a badly bruised ego if spoken down to.
