I was just thinking, and it's kinda funny. If animals are people too, and they are, then people must be animals, probably more than the animals are.......wouldn't ya say? Ahh... just a joke! LOL!

Actually it's no joke at all...:=) Humans are most defintately animals. The question becomes which are smarter? Those that destroy alll around them or those that live in balance?

All animals are people...some just a bit more than others. Parrots are exceptionally smart. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "bird brained".

I'm sure our resident African Grey would agree with you there! 'Bout parrots anyway. She's quite a surprise, she is. She can carry on a monologue that would cause one to question reality, if one were so inclined. For instance, it is a favorite of  her's to verbalize your thoughts. And, incidently, my username is her's....Thook.

I believe it's because I treat them as "people".

That reminds me of what I've always said: Cats are people too.

People always look at me like I'm extremely stupid when I say that but that's there problem if they can't see the truth.

They are all 11 pounds or better and trust me, when I wake up in the morning with 7 or 8 large kitties laying on the blanket it's a real chore to drag myself out of the bed. Wouldn't trade it for the world though.....

She was sleeping on my leg while I was reclined on the couch. She's been putting on a little weight lately (jeez, I hope she doesn't see this...!) so her presence was quite noticeable.

All of a sudden her weight was considerably decreased. I thought this was weird, until I remembered reading about some people who, when they go out of their body, weigh a lot less. It then occurred to me that she must be dreaming. Sure enough, a few seconds later she started twitching.

What was even weirder is that I could see this "entity" hovering above her, but much bigger than her body. I knew it was essentially her, maybe dreaming that she was a bigger kitty or something (an ethereal mountain lion...?). It looked at me, but didn't do anything (she must be a nonlucid dreaming kitty...).

It seemed like her body didn't really regain much of its corporeal weight back, but she didn't appear to want to fully wake up, either. Must have been too comfortable. I can relate...

Really cool experience!

I've always liked cats (though I do like dogs too, just prefer cats), and now I think I know why. After reading the article I realized that we have something in common, a life focused on healing.

I usually draw any and all animals toward me. It must be a soothing energy field or something. If I'm at a friend's house sitting on a bar stool, their pets will end up underneath it. My two pups even used to fight for real estate underneath my outdoor chair, almost knocking me over (they were BIG pups!). Cats seem to help one maintain a healthy energy field.

God Bless Our Animal Companions!

I love all animals but I really do think there's something special about cats. It's like they are privy to unique psychic and healing abilities we have no real insight in to. The Egyptians felt that cats have special powers. I think they were really on to something. Has anyone noticed that some cats especially like cuddling with you when you're sick? I think they can sense this and as natural healers, try to make you feel better. It works big time for me. The closest I come to bliss on a regular basis is when my love gets underneath the blanket with me in the early morning, lies down against my side and places his head on my shoulder while purring madly. It's like concentrated bliss. I've known and loved many cats throughout my life but I have a special bond with my baby. He misses me when I'm gone and loves being with me. It's fully mutual.

Thook: You're one of the coolest people ever for running an animal sanctuary!

Amen to that!!

Dude, I live with about 200 animals. I can attest to this. We have ateast 80 cats! I should mention my wife and I have an animal sanctuary. Many times I have layed with cats to be with them as they pass over, or just to hang out and exchange healing vibes.

God Bless You!

I'm so glad that at least some animals have a sanctuary to which to go. So many humans are not yet mature enough to recognize their cruelty towards other life forms.

My little girl (feline) adopted us (she was a runaway), and is very attached to me (it's mutual, I assure you!). She has helped me out a lot with my life recently. I guess it's hard sometimes to figure out who's rescuing whom . . .

She lays on me when I get home from work almost every evening. At one point, it's almost like we're one being, It's such a cool feeling.

Last night she was lying on the top of the couch. I was getting over a slight back injury. I looked up at her (it's a recliner couch, thank God!) and it's almost like she communicated to me the phrase "frequency of a cat's purr". Well, I had my laptop handy, connected to the internet, and was astounded at what I found! She's such a blessing.

I think everybody who maintains an animal sanctuary hold a special place in the Creator's heart.
