Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love my cat. He is just the cutest cat ever. We adopted him from a nurse that I worked with who was kind enough to take care of him, his mother and all of his sisters. He is a little snuggle-muffin. We named our cat Bossy Boots. There was something special about the little milk-moustache, black and white tuxedo-wearing fur demon. We have had the pleasure of having him in our lives for seven years and we hope to have him with us for many, many more.
My Love and I will occasionally go to the local SPCA and walk the dogs, or pet the kitty cats. When we go we bring donations for the SPCA, as they always could use things at their shelters. They have a Shelter Wish List. They are always in need.
When you see animals in pain, injured or abused, if you are like me, the sight rips at your soul. You see the animal as an innocent sentient being looking for affection and having that trust be broken and abused. You see an animal that is unable to stand up for itself, and you view the person that perpetrates the abuse as less than human. These images break my heart. They change how I feel about humanity.
But then you watch how the animal with proper care and affection will trust again. You see the animal find, what I can only imagine, their 'joy' again. You see humans caring for these animals showing the compassion. Even if you don't believe animals exhibit love and happiness; there is a notable change in the animals attitude and behaviour. It is a wonderful thing to see.
So today, if you have a fur buddy or are in the neighbourhood of your local shelter; give a little love and spark some joy for and animal today. There are reasons out there, science-y reasons why interacting with animals is good for you. It actually decreases stress and can stabilize some peoples' mood.
Remember do what makes you happy. BTW. If you are allergy prone and can not be near furry friends, again, donations are always welcomed.
