Cats and Dogs goes to heaven.

I cycle to the City Fan Park just in the middle of the city, i stopped at the food & drink stall then head towards the nearby benches along with my cycling friends facing to the mid of the park. We having a good sunset snacks with burgers on my hand and suddenly some cats surrounded us wating for food crumbs fell from our hands. I pinch a thumbfull of my food and slowly handed over to one of the cats. The cats looked straight into my eyes looking for signs if i did sincerely give those food as warm invitation. I made a warm stare right back into the cat eyes saying its ok to pick it up. Slowly she approaches me as i lay the food on the bench, she grab it mouthfull and walk back a way a few feet from me. Then she put it down and "meowing" into a direction, 2 kittens run towards her, she is a mother of two. The kittens munch the food hastily leaving nothing for their mothers as she licks her kitten fur clean as they enjoy their evening dinner. She then turn towards me with a very warm stare and half blink as if it was trying to say thanks. The the mother and her kittens when away head back home where they wish to be.
I was born to love and to appreciate animals and other furry creature. Cats and Dogs are my best life partner when i was a kid. They protect me, they love me, they cuddle me when i'm sad, they accompany me when i'm scared and always by my side when i need them. 1 cat and 2 dogs, that was 15 years ago. My family have tradition and trust in these furry animal friends. They tought me something that i never forget for the whole life, "they are almost like human":
They have:
-love
-feelings
-soul
-care and responsibility to their children
-sacrifice
-sadness
-hate
-guilt
-sorrow
-happiness
-loyalty
-they can see what normal human can't see

They never:
-cheat, lied
-abandoned me
-hurt me
-steal
-evil intention

Dogs teaches me to be humble, caring and helpful, cats teaches me to be respectfull, patients and understanding. Most importantly responsible and caring for our own family. Most of my childhood life are protected and guided by these animals...they are the most trusted companion that god have created for humans. But yet some people neglect them and abuse them for they misunderstood these animal roles into our human life...but still cats and dog never retaliate or fight back unless they are pushed into the corner to the limits. I hate to see people punish their animal or kick them around for things that they didn't do anything wrong. Some hate them because they are dirty useless and nuisance to the community. Some are killed for no reasons. Some abandoned with even a kiss goodbye All this because non of us understand their existance along side with human. Consequently these animal stray around us seeking shelter, love and most importantly waiting our warm touch as sign we care for them. At the end of the day their new born children will learn to fear and hate human because they never experinced love from us as we did to their parents.
The animal family stucture are no difference from our human family structure. If you observe more carefully they are much more family like and closer bonded and united between parents and child. Between their caring, love and relationship is a nice hugging, licks,chasing after each other, rubbing cheeks and rub each other body. As for us the new modern day human family, between family and children are bonded by materialism and money. Without material gain and interest family breakdown and quarell happens because the children demand for material gains cannot be full filled by parents. Childrens live showered by material bonds are highly spoiled and lack of real warm love. There's a rich family live across the road had a good loyal big black dog but the people in the house had a extremely spoil child and very strict father. Everyday i can hear and see the kids whack, beat the dog and scold for no apparent reasons. The child's father sometimes also scold the dog for making noises and annoying acts made by the dog. At times i pity the dog when he tried to stick his nose outside the gate trying to peer into other dog business outside the gate, wanted to join and enjoy true freedom...to bad his life bounded by bars and chains around the neck. Is this called fate for the dogs? To be security slave rather than part of the family?
You must remember cats and dog are human like in nature and they way the live and handle their life. The only difference is that they can't speak our language and everthing runs on four legs. The best way to communicate with cats and dogs is an eye contact. Cats and dog wouldn't understand how you feeling by just talking to them, but if you do an eye expression and then make eye contact with these animal they may well instantly understand you alot more than just talking, i always earn their trust by greeting them with an eye contact plus along side of warm expression. When you kick, beat or kill a cat or a dog its quivalent of kick, beat or kill a human. Think about it. Heavens awaits them, so where will you be?
