Most western people regard the cat as a pet and cherish it very much. It is reported that some famous western person look on the cat as their child, but others hate it in their bones. This forms a very sharp contrast. The famous British prime minister Winston Churchill loved cats very much in his later years. He raised a white cat. Whenever he had his meal, he must share it with his cat, or he would have no desire to eat his meal and he would also be in low spirits. Sometimes his loving cat wasn’ t at the table. He must send his servant to find it or he wouldn't have his meal until his cat came back. It’s hard for us to understand this. The well-known American general Bert Lears always mentioned the cats he raised whenever he wrote to his family. In the war between America and Mexico he wrote to his daughter, Alice, asking her to send his big cat to his big headquarters at the front, as soon as possible. He wanted the cat to boost his courage and cheer him up. As a result, he was triumphant in battle. But, on the other hand, there are some famous persons who hate cats terribly. The most terrible behavior may be from the famous English poet Percy Bysse Shelley. Shelley wrote his poems with affection, but treated his cats unfriendly. Once when he flied a kite to make an electricity experiment like Franklin, he tightly tied up a male cat under the kite. Then he sent the kite into the air in the presence of wind and lightning, accompanied by crashes of thunder. The cat with a sorrowful voice was burned to death like a piece of coal. However, Shelley was very happy. If Shelley had taken this action today in England, he would be sentenced to imprisonment for life and fined a lot of money because of killing the wild animal.
