I would not say that I am a cat versus a dog person as I have equal affection for both and had many pets of both species, but cats often stand out in my mind as more mysterious and therefore more interesting to wonder about.  I do believe that they each have specific God-like qualities that enable us humans to be touched by the unexpected.  I have had many cats and dogs over the years as pets and am grateful for the qualities that they embodied which gave me a sense of something more being involved in creation of living thing.  Curiosity seems to be an overwhelming quality that both animals possess, thought they demonstrate it in different ways.  Puppies are constantly curious and when they discover things, they seem to either cement the discovery in their mind or forget it at once and do it over and over again.  Cats on the other hand, seem to live by the motto, “the more curious the better” throughout their whole lives.  I suppose that is where the term “curiosity killed the cat” comes from.  Either way I think we can take the model of their behavior and incorporate into our own lives as I see it as a trust in God.  Somehow cats know that it is more important to keep checking things out.  If it is to their end, then it was a life well-lived.  But most of the time (given they have 9 lives 😉 it is simply something new to discover about life.  My prayer for us today is that we adopt a motto of curiosity about our life and take a little risk.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
