Life Lessons from Cats

Cats: Teachers in furry clothing

Although I find all animals and plants as all the mentors you will need in life. Grit from knucle dragging seeds, persitance from ants, kindness from dogs, selflessness from trees, curiosity from seals... and more

I picked cats cause I have two and I get to observe them more than any of the above as I work remotely from home as a software engineer

These are some of the things my cats have taught me:

You are a child of god, no less than the sun and the stars. So treat yourself that way! Don't go chasing affection, attention or pay too much of it to others

You will land on all fours everytime you fall, so jump further than you think you can. Even if it's only to catch a leaf that might look like a bird. There are no big or small endeavours when you give it your complete undivided attention

Get enough rest, and there is no such thing as too much rest. Beds are everywhere and there are no uncomfortable positions

Strech, your flexibility has no limits other than the one's you place on it

Don't be quick to love, just cause someone gives you a compliment or thinks you are cute does not warrant your attention. Time will show me how you feel about me and how I feel about you. But once in love, it will not die even if you leave. I'm not going to mope and be sad, my life will go on but I will always love and remember you

It's the simple things in life, a carboard castle, misbehaving piece of paper, a tail that you just can't seem to catch, a shadow that looked at you wrong, a leaf that fell the wrong way...

There's always a way, no gap is too small, no leap is too wide, no tree too tall.

Just cause you are bigger does not make you alpha, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Keep yourself clean, getting sick is for the dirty

Play sharpens life skills

You are born with everything you need to know, if you are missing something I'll learn on the way that I already knew that too

A snake might kill, I don't know that, don't need to. I know for a fact that fear kills
