Your walk down the quiet neighbourhood will now turn into a frenzy of activity as your Sag dog squeezes under the gate of every household garden to rack up their cat or mercilessly tease their previously well-behaved dog. However all is not lost. The owners of the cat / dog are quick to venture out to find the source of the din. Expecting the worst, you stammer an apology for your deaf dog. The owner comes up and shakes your hand! He tells you his cat needed a little excitement in his life, he was becoming too fat and lazy. You start talking and realise you were both deerstalkers in the old days. A beer is offered and a friendship struck up that lasts for years. Your dog and his cat become mates.

Sagittarians never waste an opportunity, their optimism knows no bounds. What starts as a crises in the making inevitably turns out to be an act of good fortune, enhancing both the owner and the dogs’ reputation.

Tolerant, easy going, full of fun, they are however up front to the point sometimes, of sheer tactless. Not one to waste time of trivial matters he gets straight to the point. No time to waste on little details. Don’t bother wrapping his birthday present or arrange his food. Not that he is a greedy dog, he just cannot see the point in your efforts.

Sagittarians usually live to a ripe old age, retaining his love of life to the very end.

Your dull, boring life will change forever. No day will be like the one before. If you can’t handle that, better not to choose a Sagi pet.

THE SAGITTARIAN CAT
Social airs and graces are not for the Sagi cat. He would spend some effort and time to help himself to the refrigerator food rather than suffer the indignity of asking you to open the door. He is a staunch believer in personal freedom. No neighbourhood is safe from his explorations. His gambling nature however, ensures that he always lands on four feet, returning home from a night out on the tiles with gifts of food and smelling of some old lady’s perfume. He is convinced that luck is always on his side. Knowing this may eventually lead to trouble, it is the wise owner who curtails some of the hair-raising activities of the Sagi cat whilst still a kitten — this will prevent your premature ageing when he becomes an adult cat.

His ideal amorous choice of a mate will willingly let him make the rules, however their slightest demonstration of caution or timidity will have them left on the shelf (or wailing outside your door).

Failure does not exist in the Sagittarians vocabulary, but insurance policies against unexpected damage to your home will certainly be in yours. Life will never be dull

Rules of owning a Sagi cat:
• Take him with you when you buy a Lotto ticket.
• Invent a cat-proof pantry door.
• Accept that you have a genius at your feet- reinforce it by telling him several times a day.
• Never let your insurance policies lapse.
• Never let him share his adventures with an inferior cat.
• Watch your health — his will be just fine.
