You Gotta Love That Little Face

Kittens are so purrfect.. I love the little innocent faces filled with wonder and curiousity. I think it's important for us to interact with pets as they have so much to teach us. Dogs teach children never ending loyalty and faithfulness. They give an unconditional love that is pure and runs so deeply it never ends now matter how we look, what we have or even if we get angry and act ugly. Dogs just LOVE US>>> nothing asked in return.
Cats teach us to be independant.. actually interdependant. They love their time by themselves and show us how important it is to take care of ourselves. There is a balance between these two where pure joy lives. Dogs tend to love so much that they forget who they are and cats sometimes only care for themselves and what humans can do for them. We as humans can learn these lessons and know balance.
I have known the great joy of offering love and kindness to a wild cat and have it respond with a purr, allowing me to pet it and it eventually becoming my friend. Ah, what a mirror to the heart of man. .. we all need and crave love, acceptance and kindness.
We have had many interactions between different animals. Their feeling safe offers them a path to explore their curiousity without fear. What a lesson.. perfect love casteth out fear... and makes a path straight to love and joy.
