Sometimes I like to press my ear to my cat’s side and hear his heartbeat and think about how amazing it is that he’s alive and I’m alive and we are alive together at the same time
I am always awed that these little desert hunters who are genetically identical to their African wildcat cousins have decided to come inside and sit on our laps and curl up beside us at night. We are truly all children of mother earth
I have in fact stared at my cat and just gone “you are an independently thinking thing that lives in my house and may or may not know what is happening.”
