Cats are incredible. They are elegant, curious, independent, loving, simply magical companions, and they have a lot to teach us. Here are the 10 most important lessons I have learned from my cat, Agata.

1. Take Good Care of Yourself

The most fascinating thing about cats is their hygiene. I am always amazed by how much time they spend on cleaning themselves — with a lot of dedication and enjoyment. After eating, they take time to clean themselves properly, once you cuddle them too much, they will take their time to fix their fur. I feel like we humans totally misunderstand hygiene. There are those who just like to cover up their natural self with too much aftershave, makeup, hair gel or nail polish. And there are those who forget to brush their teeth, shower once a week or don’t even own a comb. Hygiene is important — because it means taking care of our bodies, not just with cleaning, but also with exercise. My cat is also a real yoga master. She stretches all the time and doesn’t stay in one position for too long, keeping the energies alive and moving.
