I happened to see my ex (who dumped me a month and a half ago) today, and also my cat who ran away a long time ago. It suddenly hit me that I like cats. They aren't very nice or affectionate, they expect you to do all the work (like a dog), and they're just so proud... My cat has become so skinny from being a street cat, but he just won't come home. I think it's because he's just too stubborn. I wonder if my ex is the same.

Be happy with yourself, as they are obviously happy with what they are doing.

Sounds like it! Comparing a love interest to a cat - interesting analogy!
