Good morning folks,
Was thinking about this again yesterday evening whilst stroking Frankie as he was stretched out on my lap on the settee purring away quietly.
sym·bi·o·sis (smb-ss, -b-)
n. pl. sym·bi·o·ses (-sz)
1. A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that may, but does not necessarily, benefit each member.
2. A relationship of mutual benefit or dependence.
IMO That sums up the cat/human relationship very well, I provide shelter, food, warmth, companionship and loving and they provide loving and companionship, works for me!
They fulfill the human needs in me to love and protect. The only time I ever truly relax without thinking about something or "thinking about thinking about something" etc. is when I have either, or both, of them on my lap or the bed purring away contentedly, bliss!!
.
Cheers
Leigh
