CAT

Do you have a familiar? I surely hope you do. Or that you did. Or that you will. The love of friends is the highest ideal. If your best friend is from a different species you are blessed indeed. My best friend  is a Bengal Cat, named Botticelli. I call him Botticelli... that is not what he calls himself. My brilliant teacher-friend, the physician Dr. Lalani, names his familiar Whisp-purr. Why we seek intelligent life in distant galaxies is beyond me. There are myriad forms of intelligent life beyond the human clutter pile right here on the blue green rock we are fortunate to live upon. We "two-legs" are walk-on  members of the cast. When you live with a feline you connect yourself to the great jaguar.... to the sabre-tooth.... to  the  Cat-Goddess Bastet to the great co-evolutianary Creation we participate in. Look into the eyes of Nadim's familiar Whisp-Purr. The nobility, the telepathy,  the precognition... the endless sense of play all are there. When a cat blinks at you it acknowledges your existence. Wait for Whisp-Purr to blink. Wait. Blink. Now you can carry on with your day.
