A short time ago I was lying on my couch watching the history channel
with two of my cats on me vying for my attention.

Not a day seem to go by that I am not amaze at the complex and loving
relationship that can form between two such dissimilar animals as that
of a cat and a human.

I know that humans, for the most part, consider themselves at the very
least at the right hand of God and completely apart from the "lower"
animals that we share this world with.

We even consider ourselves apart from nature and not simply one aspect
of nature.

And yet we still had open our homes and hearts to the offspring of the
wolf and the offspring of the tiger.

Somehow I think and I hope that even if someday we change ourselves
into beings more powerful then the God most of now worship, the
creators and the destroyers of whole universes, we still will have a
lap or two open for our cats to sit in.
