I love this story. And I completely agree. I spend tons of time with our animals. The dogs usually go with us to town. And our cat is amazing. I love animals so much. And it completely blows my mind that many people don't consider them just as important as humans. Even though I love people also, they are my least favorite. We can be quite arrogant. And we have forgotten how to live with the flow of nature. My animals help me remember. Thanks for the share. 💚
I've got so many stories after these dozens of cats ended up with us...
Had a couple die while I tried to rescue them too, when they realized that their bodies were wrecked they just kind left...
We've got 13 now, 4 small kittens, 2 medium and 1 survivor where all her other family is dead, they all started taking care of her once her siblings disappeared.
Oh well, I guess the monitor lizards here are well fed at least... Hard to do anything about that

Wow. That is a ton of cats. There is only so much we can do up against nature. Maybe nothing at all. Maybe trying to go against nature is futile.

After Onion (probably) was eaten all the others finally started getting real careful outside...
So they know, and adjust :-)
I could go on for hours describing them all, they're real individuals, and when I put some effort into keeping them all happy it all works out well hehe

I'm curious. Do you eat meat? You obviously are very connected to animals.
reply
I get seriously sick without that, so yes.
When there is time and opportunity for it I find it easy to understand them, of course meditation and cutting off thinking also really helps :-)
reply
Interesting. How do you get sick? Is it possible that you just would need time to adjust. I am not against eating meat. I just don't like the way we do it here in the west. I like the idea of hunting and honoring the animal before consuming it. Putting in the actual work to appreciate the gift.

Loooong story, will hopefully get to that later... And here would be the perfect territory for that I'd think!

I'm excited to hear about it. Thanks for all your support.
