Tribute to a Tabby - Tear Warning

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...092802002.html What a beautiful kitty. And it sounds like he was much loved in the neighborhood. I laughed at the letter his human got from a child in the neighborhood who said that Gus was loved, even by people who were "alergic". And then there was the guy who carved an angel kitty out of leather and left it for Gus's human as a tribute. He was quoted at the end as saying that sometimes you can get really numbed out by all the violence in the city, so that when his neighbor was recently shot, he hardly felt a thing. But when he learned that Gus had died, all these tears came pouring out. Loving other humans is complex - wonderful, but also, often fraught with difficulties such as sadness, anger, jealousy, being reminded of childhood wounds, and so on. But loving an animal is so simple and direct and *innocent* - no wonder it's so easy to access feelings about them. Joyce - with a Smudge cat resting her head on my hands as I type |
