One of my cats sits next to me. He sits and he is warm and
quiet. He and I are comfortable together. We know each other. I have
had him since he was a kitten, and he is almost eight years old now.
I suppose it is this sense of belonging, of shared experience, that makes us part of one family. Even though our experiences of this relationship must surely be very different, still, I am his owner and he is my cat. And it feels good.
