Apologies to all the dog lovers....

Don't get me wrong. I love dogs. I love horses & goats, skunks, rabbits, giraffes, deer, llamas. I love all animals. Each brings something unique to the table thereby reaffirming that we all have a purpose. Benjamin Hoff wrote a book "The Tao of Pooh". A great work that explains Taoism to Winnie the Pooh. Finally, a language I can understand. He also wrote another book "The Te of Piglet". Here he explores the concept that even the very small have a purpose & a place in this world. Very uplifting.

But that's not what this post is about. This is a hero story about a cat named Mouse. Mouse was a Maine Coon. A huge cat with an over abundance of fur & attitude. In my house at the top of the stairs is on the left the bathroom & on the right is my bedroom. One night Mouse woke me up at 3:30 in the morning. I thought he had to go out so I got up & headed for the stairs. But instead of going down the stairs Mouse went and sat in front of the bathroom. A bit annoyed, I said, "Mouse! Really?" And then I saw it. There was about an inch of water on the floor. The water pipe connected to the toilet had burst! The cat woke me up knowing that I could fix this. My hero!

Animals are smarter than society gives them credit for.

Cats and dogs may have small brains, but they make very good use of them. I had a nurse cat. Once when I was very sick, I was having nightmares I couldn’t awake from. My cat would poke and prod my face til I woke up. I loved that cat. ❤️😁

Smart enough to be house pets. In the next life I'm coming back as a house cat.

I think my cat would be more likely to cause the problem and then go off to sleep content!

Oh don't worry Mouse did his fair share of wrecking havoc & strutting off with his tail in the air! 🐈
