After a summer of work, my neighbour's son is now ready to return to university. I happened to catch a glimpse of him just before his parents brought him to the airport. He is kind of a macho guy - athletic type who exudes testosterone. Howeber, this AM, before he got innto his car, he went looking for their cat - who is a 15 year old kitty who likes to go outdoors but never strays too far from home (and we live in a quiet residential neighbourhood of pet friendly people). He finally found her and picked her up, hugged her for as much time as he could and gave her a big kiss. I saw him shed a tear too!
It was a very heartwarming way to start the day - a boy hugging the cat who had grown up with him!
