Happiness was mine…
My loved ones were all content and healthy, I lived in a beautiful home, and I had just married an incredible man.
Little did I know…
I could be even happier! Moreover, my happiness teachers would be furry!
The cats were my idea…
My husband has every reason to loathe cats.
- They make his eyes run.
- His throat gets scratchy whenever they’re too close.
- If he pets one, his nose itches and worse.
Wonderfulness that he is, he agreed to adopt some. He even quickly fell in love with our felines!
Back then, while all animals charmed me, but…
I was an avowed cat lover. Cats are gorgeous, and better yet, they require minimal attention.
Dogs, I thought, were cute, but didn’t merit all the bother that owning one comes with. They need to be walked daily. They chew valuables and slobber. If you don’t train them, they’ll jump passersby and bark way too much. Some are biters!
Cat hater?…
In my experience, cats are terrific!!! They’re lovely, low-maintenance, and fun! Sure, one out of a million is neurotic, but those are in the minority.
My husband loves dogs best!
Given that he had agreed to our two cats, perhaps it was only right to get a dog.

What, dear reader, has your pet taught you?…

My vote is for cats! 🙂 I absolutely love them! I posted something about this on my blog (from last year) which serves as my response to your question regarding what our pets teach us. The post can be found here: https://onelightonesource.com/2017/11/01/animals-and-unconditional-love/ . Thank you for sharing your sweet thoughts about your own cats! ❤

My sweet dog, Boo Boo, taught me that it’s not only humans who can break your heart.

Great post! I am a dog lover but cats can be great as well. I have fallen in love with a very special cat. He caught me by surprise. He is one of the main characters in a new book that my friend and I wrote. 🙂 He is so much more than just a character though, to me he is real.
