It's vexing and yet it is gratifying to be loved by a creature with such bottomless self-regard.
They say you can't really fall in love unless you love yourself. So, what is the love of a cat? A creature that has never once doubted her place in the world, or that you should be just under that place holding her.
I make fun of #PicaTheCat often, but she has taught me things. For example. If someone loves you don't wonder "why? why would they love me?"
No, think "Of course. Obviously they love me. They are, to put it simply, correct."
@futurebird This is why Pica is such a big author of life skills books.
