Dan Holder said it all. Mew, my KatMa has taken in older cats & dogs. If a cat or dog adopts my KatMa, she doesn't resist.

from the first breath to the last breath
and every breath inbetween
one learns with their puppy or kitty
what true, honest love means

KatMa wrote that for all pets everywhere because pets truly are a very special gift. Pets should be respected, honoured for whom they are, treated according to the Golden Rule, and loved.

Humans are very lucky that animals will come to trust them and that in our homes species learn together -- birds & cats or cats & dogs, etc. Natural enemies who make the leap to friendship are so special. Too bad the humans can't do the same.
