Fear of Domestication? By Heather Sielke (04/21/10 08:07:47)
This text was intriguing at some points just to see what the author was going to say next and other points I just could not focus for anything. The most interesting thing to me was how postmodern artists have a fear of pets and seem to like the wild. The author writes about how our pets are becoming reflections of ourselves. I can see how that could happen with a dog but I feel it might be the opposite with cats. My cats only let me touch them when they wanted to be touch or even be near them when they feel they want company. They are the boss over me. My cat Twinkle Bell starts meowing at 630ish to tell us she wants to be fed and won't stop until she has the food in front of her. I am trying to ween another hour out of her but she is more training me that she is the master. To say that we desire the wild is a weird statement nowadays because people are everywhere and I would bet it is hard to find an animal that has never seen a human or been influenced by a human's decision.
