Way down deep, we’re all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them. —Jim Davis

Cats just don’t care what anyone thinks of them. They are that independent. Humans may worry about what others think and tend to hide parts of themselves to appear more socially acceptable. I’m not sure it’s good to deny parts of ourselves. I think it’s better to accept our whole beings — good and bad equally. Denial only makes things worse than they need to be. I think the cats are right to be themselves completely and fully. If we could do that, perhaps we would be happier and less likely to hurt others.

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through. —Jules Verne

Cats are certainly something special and mystical. They seem magical when they defy gravity as Bug Bunny can. They don’t act as if magic is something unreal, but something very real indeed. There is certainly magic in their purr.
