“They say that only humans can contemplate death. Cats don’t fear it the same way that we do. It doesn’t cause them the same level of anxiety that it does us humans. And then, despite our angst over mortality, we end up keeping cats as pets, even though we know that they will die long before we do, causing the owner immense grief. However, when you think about it, a human being can never really grieve their own death. Death is always something that happens to other people around them. In the end, the death of a cat isn’t so different from the death of a human.”

“There’s a warning, a sound your heart makes the first time it realizes it’s no longer safe with the person you trusted.”

“courage takes multiple forms. That it doesn’t have to be skydiving or bungee jumping. That for some people just getting up every day is an act of courage. That the smallest act can have the biggest effect.”
