Wouldn’t it be a beautiful life to be more cat than dog? A dog is everyone’s favourite, sure, but a dog is a doormat. A cat, as you well know, marches to the beat of her own drum and also insists that you march to her beat. My cat just puked on the carpet despite my picking her up twice and moving her to a tile floor for easier clean up. She just turned and went back to the carpet because that’s where she wanted to puke. And now my cat is lazing back and forth in front of this screen making it impossible to see what I’m doing because she wants me to pet her. And I am. I am petting her even as she drives me crazy. It’s a cat’s world and we’re all just living in it.
Thanks for sharing your self awareness with us! This perspective is a great reminder. I loved reading this and the cat analogy.
