I absolutely love that story, and the moral of the story, and it validates how I am, and the way I like to freely give to others. It brings tears to my eyes, because I constantly feel as though I must restrain myself and the things I offer to others. Not to be negative, but, I have received PM's, here, telling me that "people don't want my empathy", after I have offered, what others might see as too much empathy in a thread. So, I have conditioned myself, out of respect for others, but, pressure builds up inside me, as a result. I am glad to know that I don't have to give it any thought with you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, here. May I copy it? I would love to share it with my students, and others, and, I would be grateful to have a copy, to refer back to, as needed/desired, if ok with you. I'm not a cat person, however, I very much like this cat emoji. Off topic, I wonder if I am the only aspie in the world (apart from DeepHour) who has a bit of an aversion to cats. It truly does appear that most aspies are cat lovers. Thank you, again, a b !

I like cats----but I don't really care for feral cats; I'm really scared of them.

Are you a dog lover?

I feel people deserve all the empathy they can get.

Are Feral cats the more wild cats of which can live outdoors for the most part?

I have only bonded with a couple dogs in my lifetime. One is my sister's dog. What is so amazing is that from our initial meeting, we immediately bonded, and we can read each other. She loves when I come to visit. She stays by my side the entire time I am at my sister's house and she loves to play soccer and go for walks with me. I could honestly call her my best friend and companion. I love her with all my heart. I have never felt this way about an animal. I grew up with 2 dogs a 2 cats. 1 dog and 2 cats at a time. I have never bonded with cats, and they bother me, quite frankly. They act bossy and controlling and they don't respect personal boundaries. Including nice cats. Anyway, I am rambling.

Do you have a cat/cats, kk? Or, a dog? Do you like dogs? We once had a horse, and I absolutely love horses. I bond with horses, quite easily. They are exquisite creatures. I am also fond of cows. I don't come across them, but on the rare occasion, but, I adore them.

This is going to sound funny: but I had a cat who was my best friend when I was 15. She was a grey Persian longhair who, basically, prevented me from going over the "deep end."

I used to be rather severely afraid of dogs---but I came around as an adult. Nowadays, though I'm scared a little sometimes, I can pet dogs, and play with them.

A feral cat is, basically, a domesticated cat who was once in a home, but either was forced from a home, or left it on its own accord. Subsequent generations of cats from this one cat are also probably considered "feral." Not quite "wild," like a bobcat---but really close.

There are feral humans, too. They are the ones who were raised by animals, and have difficulty adjusting to "civilization."

I like horses, too---though I'm afraid to ride them because I was thrown from one when I was 8. I was made to get back on the horse by a camp counselor, resulting in me falling again. The horse was a temperamental horse, and I should never have been riding him/her. I do feel a bond when I'm around horses, though. I used to enjoy the show "Mr. Ed" very much when I was a kid. And I enjoyed other shows about horses, too.

I don't know that much about cows; I haven't been around them that much.

my dad as a child had a pet farm cow, a bull named Ferdinand, who acted like a dog.

"SSF"? can you tell me who was that person? and Ferdinand would be so glad to see my dad when he came home from school, that he would sidle up to him sorta prancing sideways, tail swishing about, mooing loudly.

I never really gave much thought to cows until I saw them in India. And there's no way to really describe how amazing they can be in writing.
Decided I was going to take a picture of every one that I saw, but gave up after a day. Then broke my camera while holding it between my toes in order to film a scooter ride.

Not sure that I could possibly offer adequate tribute to auntblabbly.

I feel it’s better to have offer “inadequate” tribute than no tribute at all.

Is there a "pot of gold" emoji?
