My pleasure. Some kitties are in touch with their inner lion.

Some kitties are in touch with their inner lion. There is a saying: Cats exist to allow humans to interact with lions.

My childhood cat was up a tree with the neighbor’s german shepherd after it. I went out and tried to chase the dog off, but it turned on me. Before it could get near me, the cat came down and ripped the dogs face up so bad it had to be put down.

Good kitties. After reading this, I can’t believe that there are people who think animals
don’t have souls. They obviously have cognitive abilities beyond being “dumb” animals.
And they’re not dumb (mute). They certainly do speak.

They’re all heroes...they mend broken hearts, give unconditional love, soothe souls and teach people how to love and care.

That’s the cat quote I was trying to remember. I see that I muddled it, just a bit. :)
