Cats and my humble opinion...

I read something very interesting and true online today... It was an article about loving cats and how cat people tend to think of their cats as their offspring - their own children. Dog people do too - but this is about cats...! The piece of the article that really hit home for me (and really made me tear up) read the following:

"Our thoughts often evolve to women when we think of humans who treat cats as their 'children.' Almost everyone knows a woman who live alone with her cat(s), and these relationships are always symbiotic in nature. One might wonder who benefits the most, human or cat. The cat thrives on the constant attention and pampering, and the 'cat mom' glows with the knowledge that in this sometimes cold world there is at least one sentient creature who gives her unconditional love, who will be there for her day-in and day-out, regardless of what society as a whole throws at her. Not a bad trade-off at all, I think. I would have no fears of choosing that lifestyle, should circumstances dictate."


"The knowledge that in this sometimes cold world there is at least one sentient creature who gives her unconditional love." The idea is so simple. And this is one of the most important things that I love about Luna. She is always there for me. Always has been. Always will be. Even when I have a bad day, she still loves me. She doesn't care if I shower, wear make-up or do my hair. She doesn't care if I'm rich or poor. She doesn't care if I gain or loose weight. I always know where I stand with her. If she's happy, she shows it, and if she's not, well, I have the scratch marks to prove when she's shown that too! Point is, I can always turn to her even when I feel like there is no one else to turn to.

THAT is what unconditional love and acceptance is all about.

And its something we should all strive to feel for each other.
