‘Aurora’-Sensing Cats In NE Philly

Oh, yeah, this letter in the Northeast Times, too:

Pets are smarter than we think

Ms. Gina DeNofa’s letter in the Sept. 11 edition, Adopting a cat is purrfectly human, was a grabber in terms of the public’s general attitude toward felines in general and pets in particular. Cats and many dogs are highly perceptive of the human mind and can detect moods of anger, happiness, pain, sadness and loneliness and give so much back in silent adoration. For instance, they can perceive a non-violent human (but not an animal lover) and will walk away from them.

It has been said we humans have an aurora or colored lights that emanate all around us, that only animals can detect and pick up on and respond, similar to that personal feeling we experience when we first meet them or humans. In any case, we all need one source of communication in one form or another, and our pets fulfill this need.

Yep, this is what the newspaper is resorted to printing now that the usual letter writers are distracted by Philly.com’s comment sections.

Definitely a long first week of Autumn. Nobody anywhere is in a good mood. The election is unbearable, the economy has collapsed, the sun hasn’t been out, everyone’s super busy for no reason. AND THE PHILLIES. It’s too nervous to even think, or write, about that. People are telling me, “Good luck this weekend.” Yes, yes, I’ll hit a few homers. But for now: Off the Internet for the night. I’d love to shut off Philadelphia for a few days, but I guess I have to let the Phillies give me a few heart attacks. Some updates over the weekend, honest! If you need to know that you can trust me, just bring a cat toward me and have it sense my, uhm, colored lights.
