Without a soul, there is no life. Death means the soul leaves the physical body. Any child can understand. Each animal is unique just as people are.
Very well said. Me, too.
Cats are more “human” than most human beings are and they are the kindest, most loving and loyalest creatures ever to set foot on Earth. - Rodney Dangerfield
Sorry, can't buy that at all. I've known hundreds of kind, loyal and loving dogs. One cat for sure, and MAYBE one other, lived up to your description.
The "for sure" cat belonged to a friend who trained him from a kitten. He was a 20 pound unaltered Tom who kicked ass around the neighborhhod and had the scars to prove it. He also: came when you called him; got up on your lap when you asked; got down from your lap when you asked; never scratched or bit a human; would literally fall off your lap rather than hook you with a claw. The "maybe" cat was one dumped by two queers when they moved out of a rental house - I inherited her. I washed her in the backyard with flea shampoo and a hose. While she yowled to high heaven, no attempt at scratches or bites. And she LEARNED. One whack upside the head and she never bothered my parakeet again.
Unfortunately most cats are worthless. Not deserving of cruelty, just worthless.

I heartily agree. Even cats are unique - for cats.
And all the living things in the world deserve the treatment Smokin' Joe suggested. Thanks Smokin' Joe for those perfect words.
