Oblivious to Insult

affectionately

she rubs her head

against her sibling

two felines who've learned to live

in a furless primate's world

 

her sister,

suddenly and surprisingly,

hisses and glares her off

she merely turns to me and purs

oblivious to insult

the way every creature's world should turn

So clever! I adore the way

So clever! I adore the way you illustrated how much we "furless primates" can learn from these regal beings.

 

A charming and very valuable life lesson.

Thank you.

And yes, especially with Bobbi (the muse, here). But cats, in general, do seem to forgive slight very quickly. Subsequently, as I look at my two snoozing cats now, I also realize that they don't lose a whole of sleep over life's ups and downs, either. Hm.

Felines are such mysterious

Felines are such mysterious creatures whose adorability is of another order. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your remarks

Feilnes carry their mysteries, indeed. And, while, as a species we've made many missteps, one of our good choices was to bring them into our shelters.
