I know that animals don’t have the same emotions that we do, but I have always felt that cats are very emotional and sensitive creatures. When I first brought home my dog, Radar, my cat complained loudly. First she hid for over a week. Then she followed me around meowing for an hour. I have no doubt this was an emotional response.

Cats, too, have been known to pee in shoes if they don’t like someone. Or bring home a bird or mouse and lay it on the bed as an offering for someone they do care for.

Happiness. Sadness. Anger. Remorse. I think that cats share all these emotions, only they don’t express it–and maybe they don’t feel it in the same ways we do.

When we’re sensitive to an animal’s emotions, we become more sensitive to the world.
