Our four-legged furry feline friends, cats are a welcome member of many a household around the country, and the world!
With their quirky, and sometimes indifferent, ways, they certainly have their own idea of what a life well lived is.
Today we’ll take a look at cats and how they interact with we mere humans, and use these points as our writing inspiration.
Let’s dive in…
How could I use these?
Any of a hundred different ways!
For example, you might pick out a prompt at random, and write two pages on the topic.
Or, perhaps use them as inspiration for a creative writing session, and craft a short story exploring the topic.
Why not journal on one of the topics each day for one week, as a fun writing challenge.
The prompts:
- How are cats different to dogs in their attitude and behavior?
- Why do you think some ancient civilizations might have believed cats were special creatures to be treated differently to other animals?

- What is the perfect number of cats to have as pets in one household? Why?
- Where do you think the saying “cats have 9 lives” came from?
