The
newest addition to our family is a rescue kitty that we brought home
three years ago. Back then, he was a tiny little thing with giant ears,
a roaring purr and an other-worldly look about him that inspired his
name – Yoda. Our first night together was torture. He meowed
all night long, which was deeply
upsetting to our two other cats, Rumi and Felix. I had hoped they would
embrace young Yoda like a long-lost little brother who needed their
comfort and nurturing – but, unfortunately, that was not yet
to be. Thankfully, within a few days Yoda adapted to his new digs, but
Rumi and Felix still went out of their way to avoid him.
We don’t know anything about Yoda’s earliest days
except that he had been abandoned.
In spite of these inauspicious beginnings, Yoda boldly approached his
two feline
brothers with an attitude of eager expectation, as if he were
absolutely convinced of
his innate lovability and it was only a matter of time before the rest
of us recognized
it as well. We quickly nicknamed Yoda our “pleasure
pig” because the little guy has an
amazing ability to elicit love from everyone around him. When Brian or
I are not cuddling
and stroking him, he is nuzzled up to the older cats to be licked and
groomed.
This morning, as I watched Yoda enthusiastically park himself next to
Felix, I realized
that even though Felix still occasionally swats at or ignores Yoda,
most of the time he
just automatically begins to groom his little brother. In his funny
feline way, Yoda is
the perfect example of the art of “living as if,”
which I explain in detail in The Soulmate
Secret
Unlike
many of us humans, Yoda knows that there is plenty of love in the world
and that he
is worthy of giving and receiving that love. Unburdened by the pain of
the past, he joyfully
anticipates that the love he feels toward his new feline brothers will
be returned.
And the vast majority of the time, it is!
If you choose, you can take a lesson from wise Yoda: Be the loving
person that you are; live in the knowingness that you deserve to have a
loving, committed relationship; and take every opportunity to let love
in – even if it comes to you in the form of a cat.
Wishing you love, laughter and magical kisses,
