Close To Companion Cats

Cat lovers don't need to be told by scientists that cat companions are good for their health!



My cats keep me sane and peaceful and make me feel loved. To give and receive love is fundamental , its like a food and without the love of my cats I think I'd wither away.



Cats lives are so much shorter than ours, that's the only thing that makes getting close to them hard. For the chances are great that we will outlive our cat friends and have to grieve for the loss of them in our lives.



I've only ever had one cat, a beautiful black and white female called Phoebe, that I helped both into the world, when she was born and out of the world, when she died quite young, from a car injury that punctured her lungs. There is something very special about that.



I read recently an inspiring book that cites overwhelming evidence for life after death. The author Emma Heathcote-James says that the bond of love we have with our pets continues on after a beloved animal dies. The thought of meeting up with them later is a very comforting one....



A I write this Sparkles sits on my lap and Ginge sits on the arm of the chair, waiting I think, for more food.



They remind me of the beauty and transience of life and help me to appreciate it more and more each day. I am so thankful that they came into my life and that they continue to honour me by sharing it with me.
