Crabby has a new family member. Being a crazy cat lady myself (and sensing I might have been a cat in a previous lifetime, if such exists), I rejoice with her. This little nugget articulates my experience precisely:
The beauty of cats takes my breath away. The pleasure I gain from their appearance, grace and attitude – and watching their own pleasure at those same attributes – never wanes; it has never been easy to resist adding more.
As stated by Michel de Montaigne, “When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not
amusing herself with me more than I with her?” I do enjoy the flirtation.
