Enlightened Moggies

I've just lost a member of our family, our cat Jasper. He has been living with us for 15 years and has been integral to the health and well being of our small family. His presence lit up our home with his unfaltering consistency. No matter what in house drama was playing out at the time, and trust me there's been a few, he never once batted an eyelid. He would go on about his business as normal, exuding a quiet confidence and comfort in demonstrating that some things really do just stay the same even when it feels like the world around is crumbling. He bought an unconditional love into the home that only animals seem to be capable of, and I miss it. I also love the way that cat's are independent, they are born survivors always landing on their feet (literally). As long as they are fed, have a warm place to nap, freedom to roam at will and a cuddle or a pat when it suits them then they seem pretty satisfied. (mental note to self: all relationships will now be founded on these principles) Unlike dogs the humble cat does not require their owners to be the leader of the pack, they are in control of their own lives thank you very much and we are just merely there to 'fit' into their world. I think in truth we need them more than they need us. I believe cat's have worked out that 'less is more' and that if they demand little of us then they receive lots! They are masters of psychology and in my opinion have reached an enlightenment that we can only watch on with envy. They don't require their chakras tweaked, combed, balanced nor assessed. They dare to be themselves, they dare to be wise.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity." Immaturity is self-inflicted not from a lack of understanding, but from the lack of courage to use one's reason, intellect, and wisdom without the guidance of another. RIP Jasper.
