Does anyone else have the extreme sensitivity to animals that I do?
I love animals more than most people and often find myself in tears over the thought of the cruel things people can do to them. I went to Petsmart at lunch to get my cats some treats and I stopped to look at the cats up for adoption like I usually do. Usually all the cats are sleeping when I go there but today there was a white cat wide awake and very interested in my attention. Her name was Alice and her ears had been mostly amputated. I immediately teared up(as I am doing now typing this) and I really really wanted to adopt her-unfortunately her information said she does not get along with other cats and I have two and that is enough for an apartment. I just feel so bad that I cannot rescue all the cats in the world. I grew up having a family cat who was not affectionate at all so when I adopted my little black cat 5.5 years ago I really found my life's desire come true in her-she loves me unconditionally and gives me the love and attention that no human has. I really never truly loved anything til I adopted her and then when my ex and I were adopted by a male tiger I found my male cat soul mate in him. I often wonder if I will ever love another human as much as I love my cats. I know most people will read this and think I am crazy but I have been hurt by so many people but never by an animal and they only bring me joy that no human ever has.
