Cat Love

                         My friend was telling me about her pets during Covid 19 and how much they refuse to let her do her job.Both her cat and dog were vying for her attention. She said they were quite more possessive than even her children. Her cat Felix was the funny as one she would jump on her key board to stop her from working and demand that she gives her undivided attention. She also would sit and watch news daily and she would signal her to turn the TV on so that she can watch her favorite news cast.Felix according to her knows  her station which is CNN with Anderson Cooper. I am told she sits and watches him for hours,so they place it on the loop until she has had enough. Well Felix has good taste because I love me some Anderson Cooper too.

                   Felix has an attitude and she wants what she wants when she wants it. Therefore when she needs to snuggle her mistress must stop what she is doing and rubs her head or feed her.It is funny and adorable all at the same time but it had me thinking just how little our pets require of us. In a world of strife and pain and with uncertainty around us isn't it wonderful that we can all turn to our pets even if its just for a moment. They do not need anything from us except our love attention at times.

                How unconditional are our pets love. It is one you can count on for sure. They do not need money, flashy cars or anything fancy.They just need you and they see you and by that I mean the real YOU, not the one you pretend to be when you are with everyone.They see your flaws.They see you first thing in the morning with out make up but they love you anyway. It really doesn't matter to them if you are black,brown,or white. If you are Christian or Muslim. Fat or slim.

             Regardless your cat or pet will love you forever and in their eyes you are their best thing. I wonder why humans cannot practice love as our pets. Felix loves her mistress as she is. Anyone who has pets know just what it is when you have a hard day,just to escape for a minute into your pet's world. Cat love knows no boundaries.

             If even for one day. Today can we be kind to one another. Tell someone close to you how much you love and appreciate them. Love yourself, be kind to yourself. Appreciate difference and respect each other. If our cats and pets can love without prejudices so can we. Let us change our mindset.I think the world needs some cat love at this time.Have a great day and if you have pets show them lots of love.
