The Fur Can Be Deceiving

He is tall and dark, shiny and sleek, always looking for trouble. She, on the other hand, is light and fluffy, awkward and tender. While you would think that two felines would be similar in nature, Mowgli and Punky have taught me that they are unique as any two people are. Mowgli is quite the combination, having the body of a cat, yet the heart of an old dog, playing fetch, bathings himself in the sink, and growling when threatened. Punky, however, is a darling cat to the core. She lounges around the house and disappears for hours at time. I have come to ponder the lives of these two creatures and how much like humans they are. Unlike canines, you must earn their love, such as the case is with most human beings. Awareness of this human trait has made me more conscious of the need to extend love and grace unconditionally. I thank these two felines for teaching me about myself.
