Camille Paglia: Cats are evil

Advertisements [?]

From Camille Paglia's "Sexual Personne":

Cats are prowlers, uncanny creatures of the night. Cruelty and play are one for them...They live by and for fear, practicing being scared or spooking humans by sudden rushings and ambushes. Cats dwell in the occult, that is, the "hidden"...the cat really is in league with chthonian nature, Christianity's mortal enemy...Compared to dogs, slavishly eager to please, cats are autocrats of naked self-interest. They are both amoral and immoral, consciously breaking rules. Their "evil" look at such times is no human projection: the cat may be the only animal who savors the perverse or reflects upon it.

Happy Halloween!
