Although you are nearing old age, your stance is still just as loving and brave as when you were a little ball of fluff. You sleep in the crook of my legs when you know I'm depressed. You nod at me in acknowledgement. You squint at me with admiration. I don't think it's true what people say- that cats only rely on us for food. Pets, or should I say, companions, rely on us for love. In fact, they thrive on love. It'd be foolish to say showing genuine love and care for your companion doesn't affect their quality of life. At fourteen years old, you are the most loving, loyal companion I could ask ask for. Knowing you are well cared for and loved, is the most fulfilling feeling. I don't need anyone else's acceptance as long as I've got your's.
Pets are really an amazing thing/companion. They do look to us for love and rely on it. I would say we all do a pretty good job on fulfilling that. I have a dog named Roxy and she will be there for me when I need her. Although she can be a little crazy at times. Like you said as long as you have your pets acceptance... do you really need anymore? I really don't think so.
ReplyDeleteP.s. Your cat is adorable.
Awhhh! Your cats adorable! It's true that animals really are great companions. No matter what they will always be there for you and it'salmost like they are really people. I talk to my dog like he's a friend anyways :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday I spent an hour with my friends cat because it was the most loving cat I have ever met in my life. Then someone told me Cats hold grudges, but I think that's only if you're a giant asshole to the cat. I see my cat like a few times a year and he still remembers me and is all cute.
