CAT CHILDREN
By: Jill K. Widmann
Do you ever feel like your kitty think you are his/her Mama or Papa? Well, that may it may be the absolute way they truly feel! Studies have shown that, “ethologically” ( which is: the scientific and objective study of animal behavior especially under natural conditions), pet owners may serve as a kind of surrogate for a cat’s biological mother. This would mean when you tell your friend that ,” My cat is my child”, you actually are in the mind of your cat.
I think a lot of us just naturally feel that way. We take care of our cats as we would a child, they cry like a child, cuddle like a child, and are in a a way a furry little human. People who don’t have any human children may even feel as though that they would rather have cat kids than human kids. Why not? All beings on this planet of ours deserve love and we as humans, get so much love back from our furry ones, that it seems as though we have the best part of the deal.
What better way to sooth yourself after a long day, then to sit with a fuzzy kitty, a warm cup of tea, a blanket and a good book. I know these are my most cherished times…how about you?
