Last Friday, I watched 20/20 on television. One of the stories it reported was about women who obsessed with cats. Among the many so called "crazy" cat ladies featured, two of them were caring 100 plus tail wagging felines each. What a feat! The maker of this documentary said the devastating events trigger many to seek refuge in animals. These cat lovers all happen to be females. Their maternal instinct to nurture led them into cat rescuing business.
Certainly being a pet owner myself, I can appreciate what a daunting task these women got themselves into. I know rescuing and caring stray animals can be addictive. But there are definite benefits in pet ownership, whether it is a mongrel dog you adopted from the pound, a little guppy you got for a birthday, or even an injured bird you rescued from the wild. And it is encouraging to see these "crazy" cat ladies transformed the unresolved frustration in life into loving and caring acts onto other beings.
One dog owner told others that dogs are angels. God sends them to us. I think all animals, tamed or not, are angels that God sends to us to make life better and more livable.
Now let’s find a constructive way to put these kind ladies out of business. Perhaps, opening our heart and our door to a wayward furry animal will be a very good start. - Ayee
