My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Have you ever heard it said, that people and their pets resemble one another?Not only have I found that to be very true, but I’ve also notice how people and their pets share similar personalities.
Animals to me, are one of the most beautiful gifts that we have been given on this planet. And I’ve always believe that pets are in our lives for a much LARGER understanding than we may even realize.
Pets are among the greatest of teachers.
I really enjoy all animals, however to me, cats…are the “cats meow.”
I was very blessed to have shared my life with a wonderful little feline for 19 years. His name was Jerry, and he was the coolest little kitty I’ve ever met.
Not only did we have the same physical similarities, but we also share the same characteristic traits. So often, people would jokingly comment about how much Jerry and I looked and acted alike.
He was small and slim in stature. His fur was salt and pepper. We both were very picky eaters. Whenever he would use the litter box, he couldn’t stand anyone looking at him (I’m also very “pee shy”). We shared the same spasmodic energy. He was very sweet and gentle, but had no problem showing his “fangs”…if anyone over-stepped his boundaries. And he was also a big-time snuggle baby and extremely affectionate.
I often wondered if throughout the years, he became me…or I became him.
We knew each others thoughts and feelings.
We shared a love that was unspoken.
His loyalty and faithfulness was touching and unwavering.
He made the move with me, when I relocated from Florida back to the North-East. And after six months of making sure I was settled in, he gently passed away....
I miss him dearly, and at times still feel his energy with me.
Wouldn’t it be something, if our pets…were actually our soul mates?
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
