Paws For Thought: Podcaster and writer Louise McSharry opens up about her stunning cats, Debbie Harry and Dolly Parton, their funny little quirks and why she doesn’t consider herself a ‘cat person’
How old are your cats and what are their names? I have two cats from the same litter, Debbie Harry and Dolly Parton, they’re both around 10.
Have you always been a cat person over a dog person? No, I don’t really believe in that dichotomy, I think if you really like animals you like them both. What I do love about cats though is that they are always in charge of their own lives. They require very little, but also dictate how the relationship is going to go. A dog will show affection to almost anyone if you’re nice to them, whereas cats are much pickier.
What is it that you love most about them? I like that they’re independent beings who’ve given us permission to share our lives with them. They have their routines, where they sleep, who they choose to snuggle with in the evening. It feels like they’re granting us a privilege. What is the most difficult thing about being a cat owner for you? Honestly, they’re pretty easy. Dealing with their litter box isn’t pleasant, and sometimes they hack up a hairball which isn’t great but they’re generally really easy pets to have. Although in the summer, they occasionally bring us a little present from outside in the form of a mouse or bird and I can’t handle that.
