Shows again how intense one's relationships with one's animals can be. It is obvious that these cats enriched their owners' lives & vice versa. Toni, I am sure that your cat made your chemo journey much more bearable. What a wonderful and loyal friend you had in your cat. Susan, I was touched by Miracle Kitty. Yes, they do teach us lessons....accepting each new disability and continuing on. (hadn't thought of that before) Rosemary, I loved the story of Levi & Freya. And, ah, I too refer to my dogs as 'my kids.' I come home, and greet them with the words, "Hi Kids!" Ha. Your words captured their personality & your relationship with them (which did not end when they passed) so well. And then, of course, there is Selene. Sherry, thanks for putting together this wonderful feature - and all of you, thanks for sharing your beloved pets with us!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-81680830787540190432019-02-12T00:56:50.775-05:002019-02-12T00:56:50.775-05:00One could read the loving heart behind these beaut...One could read the loving heart behind these beautiful words.

They are happy drops, at least, for the animals who befriend us and allow us to care for them are blessings. All of these were exceptional in the cat world, for they let us know directly that they loved us. My current two rescued sisters love me and show me indirectly, but they are bonded to each other after 5 years of being the only constants in each others lives. After 3 years, they don't run away when I approach to pet their soft and silky fur. Maybe after 5 or 6, they'll come to me without fear. I'm patient because they are filling my house with more presence of our supernatural reality than I can possibly do alone. Thank you Toni and Rosemary and Sherry, too. So much love.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-61730371692313439452019-02-11T13:41:49.114-05:002019-02-11T13:41:49.114-05:00Thank you for giving us the chance to talk about o...Thank you for giving us the chance to talk about our beloved cats who are as loyal as dogs. they may play pranks on us or disapprove of our actions, but they still love us.tonispencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200564195675794747noreply@blogger.com
