Oh, to gain the love of a cat...

That's right, I said it! Cats are amazing creatures, contrary to some very twisted popular belief. They seem to be so self sufficient, and not in need of any real affection at all...quite the opposite of dogs. However; even while that is completely true, I still find that it warms my heart when my little Allie jumps up into my lap and lazily falls asleep...calmly purring all the while.

My other cat, Cassie, who is somewhat estranged to touch, is equally estounding in a completely different way. Like when I wake up in the mornings and she, who cannot and will not be held and is rarely ever touched, is napping just an arm's length away and blinks at me with sleepy eyes as if to say..."Thank you for not trying to pet me and allowing me to just lie here calm and secure."

Now, I do imagine that if my cats actually could speak, they would probably be much more eloquent than I could ever be while attempting to dictate their thoughts. Even though some cats are somewhat standoffish when it comes to public dispays of affection, they can still show their love in the smallest of ways - and those small displays seem to be all the more precious simply because they are only witnessed by the cat and their beloved human.

Coming Soon to a home near you...Kitty Love!

Peace & Love,
Jenni :)
