Beyond a doubt.

My cats. Loverboy and Chenuska. Have an awareness. Of being alive. Maybe not the same awareness as I. But awareness, nevertheless. I know my cats are aware. Because we interact. We communicate.  Beyond a doubt.  We make our wishes known. To each other.  In so many ways. Makes me wonder. If I communicate better with Loverboy and Chenuska. Than I do with my Alzheimer-riddled friend Ron.  Maybe I have to treat Ron. The same way that I treat my cats. Which ain’t too bad. Because I dearly love my cats. Yes, beyond a doubt. –Jim Broede
