Cats

Some of my favorite videos on the internet are of cats.  The ones that hate everything and never stop being angry.  Those are my favorite.  I could watch them for hours and hours and never stop.  

Like this one.

I don't know what it is about them, but for some reason watching an animal be angry helps me not to be angry.  Except when it is your own animal.  When they are angry or upset, it ruins my mood entirely.  

I don't know.  Maybe when we think about it, it's like that with us and people.  We have a hard time having compassion for people that we see on TV who are hurting or in the newspaper.  Or all those kids in Africa dying from AIDS when we watch those videos in Sunday School telling us to give money.  Does it always have to happen to us in order for us to realize that it happens?  That it's real?  

Sorry, the only reason I am pondering this is because my dog has been acting weird... and it is stressful.
