Creatures

[Guest guest]

I don't remember when I learned we share this world. But I know it's a

fact. Now its all around me, every day. My rabbit, my hawks, my

hummingbirds.

The deer walk right up to me. Turkeys who bang on the windows so I dump

out bird seed. My most striking encounter was really odd.

 

We used to sell wireless internet access. Part of that was going to a

potential clients location and setting up a temporary antenna to see how

strong our signal was. Called a site survey.

 

Well I was out on one, a young lady lived alone, unpacked my gear to check

signal and was body checked by her cat. Big old maine coon cat. Came out

of nowhere at me. Really pretty, and I said Hi and just started petting

her. You cat people know the drill, big purrrrrs, and then she opens up

and gives you her belly. Cat belly is nirvana. Well that cat followed me

everywhere, when I was down on the floor reading the meters she was in my

lap.

 

We had a marginal signal there and I had to tell the young lady we could

not provide service. She said " who are you?, what are you? " I said I'm not

sure what you mean.

 

The way it goes is that she got the cat from a shelter, the cat had been

abused, smokes put out on her. She had had the cat for five years, it

never would let her touch her. She had never heard the cat purrrr in 5

years. Let alone see her belly. The cat had never sat with her or been

close, they had

mostly tolerated each other. This for the woman who had saved the cat.

 

Even though we could not provide service, the young lady keeps in touch.

The cat hasn't purrrred, but they sit together now, quite close and

touching.

 

Peace

As a " cat person " , I have a big soppy heart for cats, esp. less than

privileged ones. All my life, I've been like a magnet to strays,

abandoned and lost cats (my Mom has so many stories she tells about

me aquiring animals as a child). We have one hanging out on our back

porch right now that I'm pretty sure was left behind when someone in

our neighborhood moved. Sad. So that is a great story, Don! I usally

have that reaction, from cats especially. I can only think of 2 in my

life that had something against me! I don't know if Kundalini was

present in some form cats recognized even from my childhood days (I

don't think it was but what do I know?) and that's what drew them to

me.

 

Funny, this morning I dreamed of finding some week old kittens, their

eyes just starting to open, in a closet (a complete surprise and no

mother to be seen) and later discovered my daughter had dusted them

with what looked like gray chalk dust. I was so mad and I rushed to

clean them off before they licked it off themselves and got sick. She

had also put peroxide on our black cat and he had distinctly orange

streaks! I was freaking out and could not believe my daughter could

be so cruel.

 

Anyway, lovely story, as usual, Don. I've read most of Gerald Durrell

and James Herriot, you could rival some of their animal stories.

Thank you for the nice " ahhh " this morning.

Love and hugs,

Valarie

Hi , some perceptive, you are. I never actually thought of that.

" life stories " . Nice. I have been here a long, long time. These little

things happen to us all, it's our vision, that needs to see them. As you

get older, with luck you see more of them. I relate them here amongst

friends.

 

Just an old soul, been ready for some time. Getting kind of tired of

carrying this body around. Kind of looking forward to being stardust

again.

 

Peace
