You know Jonna, you're right. Maybe that's why I love having them so much. I get aggravated at them sometimes, but I can't imagine my life without cats and kittens.....
I have dogs too, and have had many other critters in my house, but I love the ease of cats. They are resilient, tough, brave, funny, social and loving. They are all different individuals and have taught me to look at life in a more compassionate way.
I bottle raised this one (Thumbalina) she was sooo tiny for so long. I'm her mom and she greets me at the door, wakes me up in the morning, climbs up under my chin and begs me to hold her for a few minutes in the morning and in the evenings. She 'head bumps' me to show her affection and has certain noises she makes when she crawls up under my chin. When I sing she comes running and meows loudly--wants me to hold her--she probably doesn't like the sound...
