This ran in Dear Abby, I think it was originally from Kipling. Just a reminder of why we love our furbabies.

"If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining to and boring people with your troubles,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of your own, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him or her,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor one,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice,
Then you have almost reached the same level of development as your dog or cat."

That's really sweet! Thanks for sharing it with us, I think we all need to be a little more like our pets...

Bren1,

That was a great post and has a very good point. Cats have such a different outlook out on life.
