How is it that an animal can give themselves totally to you? There is something going on here that we humans don’t understand. Piper appeared like magic on my deck months ago and I chased her off, but she said no. She’s now my girl!
Cats really need a home they can own. They want no competition from other animals. They need a lot of heat in the winter. They need to hunt, whether it’s a hand under the covers, or a naive bird in the yard.
I let Piper out onto the driveway today and she gave me a mangled dead bird as a result.
She may be an overweight kitty that sleeps and eats too much, but she managed to grab a bird in a land covered in snow, rip it’s head off, and present the parts for my approval.
I’m so proud!
Great post, she loves you…
If you will allow me to wax theological, cats are a gift from god sent to us to teach us how our relationship with God is through the example of our relationship with our cats (and dogs).
She missed me Saturday night. No daddy to knock her bed onto the floor with his feet and she had to take Plan B by cuddling up.
I want to do a little traveling but not sure if she would enjoy doing it with me…
I’m not a contemporary religious man Rod, but Piper was definitely a gift, which I cherish!
