Love in Other Languages

This month’s cat vocabulary is the word love. One of the most important things in anyone’s life. It doesn’t matter if you’re human or a cat or anything else. None of us can live without love. Especially after ill treatment.

Love cures most ills and cats know this very well. They have shown me over the years how important love is. I am forever grateful to them for that.
