Love Against All Odds

In my previous posting on “Friendships Among Long Time Foes”, we have seen wonderful things about the relationships between cats and their long time enemies. Dogs breastfeeding kittens or even play with them. A dog giving ride to a cat with a mouse on top of it. A mommy cat taking care chicks, and a rabbit being a surrogate mom with kittens.
This time I found love stories between cats and humans are far beyond our imagination. One afternoon last year, I was astonished to see on TV that a middle-aged woman breastfeeds her cat in a village somewhere in Indonesia. It was reported by a national channel news. Furthermore, her husband did not mind at all. At first, I thought it was happening only in Indonesia. Then, I made some little research in the internet – thanks to Uncle Google and Auntie Yahoo for their help - similar occurrence has happened too in Japan. Until know, it is unknown for me whether these events are considered bizarre or become lost in bedazzlement. Such a mind-boggling thing what love can do to people and their beloved animal companions.
A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.
