Cancer: The Crazy Cat (June 21 - July 21)

 

1. The Cancer Cat is difficult to describe and difficult to know. This basically shy feline will be an emotional bottomless pit, alternately enveloped in happiness and despair for no apparent rhyme or reason.
2. This cat will never be able to feel anything lightly and his or her depth of feeling will be so extreme that everyone in the immediate vicinity will be dragged into it. An adaptable and variable creature, the Cancer Cat is tenacious, unpredictable, true to his or her nocturnal nature and somewhat on the moody side.
3. Physically, the Cancer Cat invariably has a small, pursed mouth…a sure indication of his or her Zodiac Sign.
4. More often than not, he or she will also be unusually angular for a cat, possessing an amiable expression which conceals the inner turmoil.
5. Motivated by the Moon, the life of the Cancer Cat will be one long chapter of accidents which eat into his or her quota of lives. Extreme stress or too much over-excitement will quickly lead to physical collapse and few Cancer Cats live to old age.
6. Relationship with the home is of vital importance to this feline…something an owner must never forget. Humans are simply considered to be “extra furniture” to the Cancer Cat, deemed useful only if regular meals are served and the surroundings kept warm.
7. This feline uses the home as a place to sleep away the daylight hours.
8. When night arrives, the Cancer Cat truly comes into his or her own…out on the prowl and singing to the neighbors when the Moon is full. Indeed, these felines do so love the sound of their own voices.
9. The Cancer Cat is no fighter and will usually back away timidly from any confrontation…much like the infamous Cowardly Lion from the “Wizard of Oz.”

 

In a somewhat distant type of way, the Cancer Cat can be a loving creature to anyone who is around long enough and up late enough to get to see him or her on occasion. Akin to ships that pass in the night, an owner will pick up on dim signals that indicate the Cancer Cat considers his or her human as more than just a stranger. There may possibly even be a feeling of togetherness as this cat sleeps through the day in the middle of the kitchen, but it is important not be too easily fooled. Should the necessity arise to move residence, the Cancer Cat is likely to refuse to follow…humans simply do not mean that much to this feline. Nevertheless, this cat does have the uncanny ability to melt a human heart with his or her constant desire for affection.
