JUST
A CAT......
from
time to time people tell me
"lighten up, its just a cat" or
"that's a lot of money for just
a cat"
They
don't understand the distance
travelled, the time spent, or
the costs involved for "just a
cat". Some of my proudest
moments have come about with
"just a cat" Many hours have
passed and my only company was
"just a cat" but i did not feel
slighted. Some of my saddest
moments have been brought about
by "just a cat" and in those
days of darkness, the gentle
touch of "just a cat" gave me
comfort and reason to overcome
the day. If you too, think it's
"just a cat" then you will
probably understand phases like
"just a friend" "just a sunrise"
or "just a promise". "Just a
cat" brings into my life the
very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"just a cat" brings out the
compassion and patience that
make me a better person. Because
of "just a cat" I will rise
early and look longingly to the
future. So for me and folks like
me, it's not "just a cat" but an
embodiment of all the hopes and
dreams of the future, the fond
memories of the past, the pure
joy of the moment "Just a cat"
brings out what is good in me
and diverts my thoughts away
from myself and the worries of
the day. I hope that someday
they can understand that it's
not "just a cat" but things that
give me humanity and keeps me
from being "Just a human"
So
the next time you hear the
phrase "Just a cat", smile,
because they "just don't
understand"
