Damn cats, I'm still trying to wrap myself around Lynndie England (bad
word choice) and then someone has to bring up my favorite creatures in
the universe
WHY CATS LIKE US
We are patsies for the housecat
but we are self-aware
that we are patsies for the housecat
and the cat if we are lucky
comes to us for love
as well as for a bowl of stuff.
We know the touch of the long hair
is the touch of the human hand,
mutual comfort,
in petting
a forgetting,
loss of self
in loving this other self.
Is this love then?
Why not?
