In the Bible, the peacock symbolizes resurrection, everlasting life.
As for cats, Dan, you don’t know what fun and joy they are, just like children, they come with different personalities. I had one, a Russian Blu, who would run roaring like a lion through the house ending in a mighty leap on top of an armoire. My siamese kitty once, seeing me in tears, snuggled close to me and touched my cheek with her paw. They respond to how one raises them and treats them.
That’s a great story etabeta...
