Cat Horoscopes
In ages long past, when men and women dressed in heavy furs and oak leaves and dragged eighty-ton blocks of stone across nations to build giant tourist attractions to prove the sun's western setting, someone pulled an all-nighter. While laboring on one particular boulder under the starry spread overhead, he happened to look up and thought he saw an oddly familiar shape. An archer. Twins. Fish. A crab. As the process was repeated numerous times, the art of astrology was born.
Whether you are like the tourist coming to gape at the awe-inspiring sight of the giant sundial or like the stonemason with a deadline to meet, the stars keep rolling overhead. Even the mason, jaded by long hours of what he sees as pointless work, can't help but wonder if there is some truth in what the stars have to say. Is there?
Those same people whose oak-leaf tunics made for top-notch fashion shows had domesticated cats in their time, and perhaps one of those nocturnal pets was sitting and watching while his owner picked up hammer and chisel. The owner probably questioned with just as much relevance about his cat's personality and compatibility. There may not be an exact science of feline astrology, but the horoscopes that we've got come pretty close. We may wear polyester instead of deerskin, but the stars keep rolling and the sun keeps setting. If you know your cat's birth date, discover what the stars say; if you don't know, then read the profiles and pick the one that fits. Even in ages long past, there was probably some trial and error.
