And too often don't.

I have a shadow. My beloved cat Loverboy.  Spends most of his life following me around. Sometimes, I can’t get rid of him. Though I really don’t mind having such company. Yes, it’s nice having such a devoted cat. And Loverboy talks to me, too. With the usual meow cat language. But there’s also thought transference. We know what’s on each others' minds. Of course, that may be open to dispute. Some people think that’s impossible. But Loverboy and I know better. We truly communicate.  Our spirits intertwine. It’s a nice feeling. The same way that people should know each other. And too often don’t --Jim Broede
