The Human in all of us

Posted on Jan 8th, 2006 by Yuri : Dharma girl Yuri
What do we see...by the door, on the sofa, on a chair, on a table? Why, it is the one and only doggie cat Flo. Yes, a cat who acts much like a dog! An affectionate loving companion whom is one of my bests of friends. Meet Flo.

Things Flo loves:

*taking walks outside and fresh air.
*displaying her many sleeping positions on the floor, sofa, chair, table, pillow..etc.
*playing fetch with sparkle foam balls. 
*playing ping pong with sparkle balls with the bedroom/bathroom doors.
*playing chase the strings / yard / ribbons.
*drink from the tap when thirsty.
*doing yoga stretches
*cleaning herself

Gotta love Flo:

*staying in the same room with you.
*Cuddle with you part of the night under the blankets.
*Mewls to go outside, if she is ignored, mewls again into your face.
*Do the flop for love and attention - lots of petting and tummy rubs.
*Greeting you outside the shower.

Flo's flavourite Food:

*vegan kibble bits from Evolutions
*can mock duck
*Yves bacon slices
*falafels
*oat grass
* So Nice strawberry soya yogurt

Flo's flavourite drinks:

*water
*coconut milk
*wheat grass

After Flo's arrival, I realized how human cats are. Heck! She is human in a cat body. She is the same like us, capable of love, fear, jealousy, worries, pain and pleasure. Through her I see all kinds of beautiful animals. Her hind legs remind me of bunnies, her ears: pigs, her whiskers: mice, her tail: squirrels, her eyes: owls, her fur: chickens, her gallops: horses, her sit: lions and many more.

She deepens the bond I have with all other animals beings that exist and help me see that they exist not for mankind to use as objects. They are alive, living, have emotions and consciousness, not to our level but it is there. Because we are the stronger ones, we have the duty to take care and protect all other beings that are below us. When we take care of others, we take care of us.

I just wanted to share some of her quirks that made my heart smile.

Well Jon. We bought wheat grass for her to try for foliage but she had a hard time chewing it so instead of wasting it, I juiced it and gave it to her. She had two small dipping plate full :) It’s not a regular thing..most of the time, it is water. Wheat grass and coconut milk is a treat.
