Li este artigo sobre o poder redentor e humanizante dos gatos; é verdadeiramente incrível como os gatos olham para além do passado e focam-se na pessoa que no momento presente têm à sua frente:
I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child.
