Cats of the Zodiac 11 - Aquarius
Friday, 26 January 2024 12:07
It is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius... no it really is. It’s all to do with the Precession of the Equinoxes. This level of brain is way beyond our basket, so we have invited our Consulting Astrologer Stella Hyde to guest and explain it, which she will do quite soon. There is no cosmic rush; we are in this for the next 2400 years.
Meanwhile… what we are in is the zodiac sign of Aquarius. We sidled in a few days ago, but no Aquarius sticks to boring old routine and rules. Aquarius is the sign all cats want to be, but very few are. (It’s to do with seasonal breeding.) Effortlessly cool, aloof, enigmatic, eccentric, elusive, unreadable. They walk alone, living life at a slight angle. They are the quintessence of what cats think they are, or should be. And they certainly don’t need you. If they could keep sunglasses on their ears, they would wear them permanently.
Aquarius is opposite Leo on the zodiac wheel: the republican rebel to Leo’s royal tyrant. Do not expect affection, purring, loyalty, or them to stay home. Does your cat stare fixedly at aliens only they can see? Are they obsessed with your tech, and have you caught them making zoom calls ON THEIR OWN? Have they made it quite clear that there will be no tummy tickling unless it is at a time of massive inconvenience to you?
Are they never where you think they are? (Macavity was a very obvious Aquarian). Do they disappear for days or weeks and then just when you are holding the In Memoriam service, stroll back in either 6kg heavier or covered in scorch marks? On the upside, they will eat anything at all including sprouts, ballbearings and post-it notes. That is an Aquarius. Cherish their rarity.
