Lessons my cats taught me
Chronicles of an Afropreneur
Dear ,
It is no secret that I am a proud cat dad! I have two adorable kittens named Lynx and Nala. When they are not sleeping they are running around the house looking for attention.
Here are three interesting lessons I have learned from them:
There is power in positive feedback/reinforcements. Cats respond better to training when you reward positive behaviour. In short, research has found that people prefer positive feedback when they are novices, but they seek out and respond better to negative feedback when they are experts at a task. So be deliberate with how you give feedback.
Have a mind of your own. Cats are famously independent and curious creatures. They examine their environments from different angles—from high countertops to beneath the bed and even around corners. This is how we all should be, always conscious of our environment and the happenings around us. It is only the 'conscious' that notice opportunities that others do not see.
Groom well. Cats spend up to one-third of their lives cleaning themselves, and poor grooming may be a symptom of old age or ill health. Our grooming habits can also impact our health. For example, poor oral health, specifically gum disease, is linked with cardiovascular disease, and failure to wash one's hands is a major mode of transmitting germs from person to person. So take care of yourself, what you eat, how you look and dress etc.
