My Cat - My Life Coach

My cat is lying by my side. He is all stretched out flat on the sofa with his speckled toes facing up. He does not have a care in this big old world. He is content. He has someone that loves him (me) to pat his head, his belly is full and he can pretty much do whatever he wants to do all day long. He can sit on my window ledge watching the flittering birds or he can chase his tail. It’s up to him. He has no worries. He doesn’t care that the cat across the street is thinner and prettier than he is! He could care less if his fur is puffed up out of control or lying down nice and flat against his skin. (I should be so smart) He has no judgements. I think in my next life (if there is such a thing) I want to be a cat, or in this life that I am in now, I want to be more like my furry friend! I think that he is the smarter one – he isn’t frantically neurotic about what is going on around him like his owner (me). If I am stressed or feeling sad, he hops in my lap and looks at me like he is thinking “hey, it’s okay, take it easy, relax, breath, purr, chill” He is my free four legged life coach! I thank God for this cat lying by my side – as I feel his purr my heart warms and smiles. God gives us life lessons in funny ways and tonight I am learning in watching my sleeping, twitching cat!
