The Feline-Human Bond of Love
Sunday December 30, 2007
Consider the number of cat lovers you know who refer to their cats as "my baby," or "my children." These are not mere words, you know; we really do consider them our offspring, and worry about their health, happiness, and well-being just as we worry about our human children. In my opinion, that is as it should be. Adopting a cat (although the paperwork is much less complicated) should be as important a decision as adopting a child. . . read more.When he was alive, Bubba, pictured here with my son Lance, was as much a part of our family than Lance was, and the bond between them was touching to see.

I loved looking at the photo of your son and Bubba, the bond for Bubba is such a pleasure to see.. This was no accident, he came by it naturally learning it from those in his family that he shared his life with. When love is given so much more is given in return, whether it be a cat or a person. How wonderful to have such a loving son who is able to bond so well with an animal.

I agree with the previous poster, Franny. That is just a wonderful photo, and I know it was absolutely true to life.
I just LOVE photo too. It clearly shows that cats need love too. I wash my cat Oscar daily and let him eat off of the table. He’s a member of our family. When I’m feeling down, I smear his food on my feet and let Oscar eat off of my feet. It cheers me up right away.
Our cats all have strong bonds with Lance. He’s their “mommy” and chief caregiver, and he dotes on them and spoils them terribly.
Uhhhhh…Floyd: Whatever works for you, I guess.
