I am no expert on human interaction with animals but the thing that keeps surprising me is my cats ability to boost my spirits. I am not depressed or anything like that but the way things are, it's easy to lose your positive attitude now-a-days.
It struck me today as I sit here with a bad back, I was not able to race this weekend due to it, and I was kind of down about it. Max jumped up on my lap (where he is now as I write) and Ben is rubbing against my leg....it just changed my whole mood. I have a big smile, my back feels better...I just feel all around better. It's amazing when you think about it. My cats seem much better at relieving my pain than my doctor!!
I was blessed with Max & Ben, and I feel sorry for those who have not discovered this anomaly.
