#43: Cats
The following anecdote demonstrates how pets have the ability to bring out the best in their owners, even if it means acting a little bit mischievously themselves. The cat that the narrator and her husband have had for the past 18 years has won the heart of the narrator’s husband. This story’s endearing quality comes from the cunning plan that the narrator devised in order to make their husband happy.
The narrator purposefully makes the cat irritable so that their husband can spend some quality time with the pet they share as a couple. It’s a funny and touching gesture of affection and appreciation. This is further proof that the tiniest acts of kindness can deepen the bonds we share with others, whether they be human or animal. It’s my hope that this wonderful couple and their cat will have many more years of happiness together.
