Love is merely a madness. And deserves as well a
dark house and a whip as madmen.
William Shakespeare
A soulful and intimate relationship with your cat is both
rare and precious in this modern world. It is also confusing.
From your perspective, your cat is a paradox. Sometimes
your cat wants attachment; sometimes he craves freedom. Sometimes your
cat wants solitude; sometimes your cat wants intimacy. Sometimes your cat
wants in; sometimes he wants out. Amid all the mixed signals and
inconsistencies is a deep and complex creature whom you love deeply
because of his complex nature, not in spite of it.
It may seem that your cat thinks crazy thoughts, that he
is just one big furry bag of contradictions. This is at once true and not
true simultaneously. How can this be? It is so difficult for you humans
to make sense of it all. Just know this: Your cat is wise in the ways of
all things. Your cat knows everything. He does everything about
everything, including your relationship. Yours is not the duty to figure
out the meaning of it all, for the relationship is, as most all things of
this universe, beyond human comprehension. It is your duty to listen to
your cat, feed him often, a and to clean up after yourself as well as
after him.

As all that is mystical and complex, your cat is deeply mysterious. A
mystery is something that you, as a human, cannot understand or explain.
Your cat is mysterious to you, in the simplest sense, because there are
thing you just do not know. Your cat is also a mystery in the deeper,
religious sense of the word: not just unknowable, but mystical, enigmatic,
paradoxical, and beyond mortal simplification.
Simply put, your cat is just too much for you. Human
words are not enough for how wonderful your cat is.
