If they are not lazing on the seat, cats are usually keeping the kids busy, running after mice and other tiny animals somewhere or lavishing you with attention. One of the ways through which cats show their affection is by licking their master’s faces and many people look forward to that part of the day.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

Indeed, why not “curiosity mildly inconvenienced the cat?” Why not “curiosity ruined the cat’s weekend plans?” Why not “curiosity is going to take up a lot of the cat’s time?”
