Cats are so entertaining. I have two I rescued. Brendel was playing with her toys today as the rain poured outside. She could care less what the weather was doing. She had her toys, plenty of food and a clean litter box. What else is a cat to want. She is one of my babies. The Dude is the other. I learn so much from these cats. They stay so calm and laid back. We should all take lessons from our animals. When life starts to get you down, let it roll off your back like the animals do. Agreed?

Yes, you are so right. We should take a lesson from Brendel and relax and let go a little more often.

Learning to let go is one of the wisest things to learn to get on

Aw, she is precious! Cats are such entertaining animals to watch. They are so carefree as well, and they are so intuitive to a person's mood change. I was really feeling down one day at a friend's house, one of her cats would not leave me alone. She came and sat beside me and even stayed beside me when I fell asleep.

I fully agree with you, cats are entertaining. The rescued cats seem to be more sweet. I think they appreciate what you did. Animals know what gratitude is, humans often do not.

@CarolDM The cat of my neighbor shows his love after I took care of him when his owners were away vacationing during the Christmas holidays. Now he comes every day to visit and to rub against my legs.

They seem to appreciate the home more it seems. You are right, animals can be more intelligent in so many ways.

Her eyes are what drew me to her when I adopted her. My two are not always easy going, they will chase each other through the house often. But it is fun to watch them.

Yes indeed, I have taken shelter animals to a nursing home before and the patients' faces just light up. This was a great volunteer job I should do again. Some of them have no family, it was really sad but they looked forward to seeing these animals.

Animals are certainly great stress busters. I recently watched or rather rewatched the film Born Free. The lion Elsa shares such a close report with her owner

Yes indeed they are. They know when something is off with you. Cats and dogs both. That was a great movie.

@CarolDM I have a cat named Sophie and she is very entertaining. Sophie loves papers and she likes balloons and when they pop she is very sad. Right now she has one that is hasn't touched yet.

Good for you. I love my cats. I have never had balloons around mine, that is an idea. I would think they would be scared when they pop.
