Perfectly describes the bond we share with our
furkids:
I Am Your Cat
Author Unknown
I am your cat, and I have a little something I'd like to
whisper in your ear.
I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work,
some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here
and there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand things in
life.
Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer.
See the way my eyes look at yours?
They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The
gray hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle.
You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in
mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other
could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior
wrong doing for just a simple moment of your time?
That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes to
be with me. So many times you have been saddened by the words you read
on that screen, of others of my kind, passing.
Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly, sometimes so
suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your throat. Sometimes, we age so
slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end,
when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded
eyes.
Still the love is always there, even when we must take that
long sleep, to run free in a distant land. I may not be here tomorrow; I may
not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes,
that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at
yourself that you did not have just "One more day" with me.
Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and
grieves me. We have NOW, together. So come, sit down here next to me,
and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough
we will talk, you and I, heart to heart.
Come to me not as "alpha" or as "owner" or even "Mom or Dad,"
come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look deep into one
another's eyes, and talk. I may tell you something about the fun of
batting toys, or I may tell you something profound about myself, or even life
in general.
You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul
to share such things with. Someone very different from you, and here I
am.
I am a cat, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical
senses, and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not
think of you as a "Cat on two feet" -- I know what you are. You are human, in
all your quirkiness, and I love you still.
Now, come sit with me. Enter my world, and let time
slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper
into my ears. Speak with your heart, with your joy and I will know your true
self. We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very
short.........
