Dogs, Cats and Unexpected Moments

Someone sent me the following quote~

“The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.” (Ashley Montagu)

It made me think of all the times my cats did something which caught me totally by surprise and made me laugh out loud:

The time I woke up on a cold winter morning to find a then tiny Chloe fast asleep under my armpit.

Watching Kate drag her long feather toy on a stick from one room to another with such a sense of purpose.

How excited Oliver was the first time he stayed in a motel room.

Animals certainly seem to be masters in reminding us not take things so seriously. I , for one, am very grateful for all the much needed reminders.
