I am starting to get the difference between cats and people. And I’m not talking about the fact that we are a beautiful elegant and intelligent species. Everybody knows that. I’m talking about our philosophy of life. You see, people, throughout their lives, start accumulating beliefs, identities, feelings, thoughts…. and all these things pretty soon start getting them into trouble and restricting their life experience.
But us cats - we live in the moment. There is no past, there is no future, there is only NOW. So we deal only with whatever needs dealing with now. We don’t say - I am angry… we never actually get angry, do we? If a threat comes along we arch our backs and look fierce until the threat is agone, and a minute later we’re back to lying in the sun. We don’t make a big deal out of anything. Ahh, if only people were more like cats…
