The neighbor’s cat, Willow.

geopsych

Willow was a tiny desperately hungry feral kitten when I first saw her. The guy next door managed to trap her in a garage and hung out there for six hours talking to her and offering food until she gave in. He and his mom, whom he took care of, then named her Willow because they first saw her under a willow tree, and took her to the vet for a checkup and shots and they adopted her wild self. She hid under things for a while and only came out to eat if no one was near but she mellowed and toward the end of the mom’s life they were inseparable. She called Willow her angel and said she came to be with her in her time of increasing problems with her health. The mom died a few months ago and now the son takes fantastic care of her. She is a lucky cat.

the best thing about this is that when there’s plenty of resources, domesticated cats will naturally form colonies. in these colonies female cats raise their kittens communally with their kin. so you get situations where moms will raise kittens with their daughters from a previous litter, cats from the same litter will raise kittens together, etc. so not only does this little old kitty see her human as family, she is also excited to help her with her kitten.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”

And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.”

“I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them.”

I need this quote framed in every room of my house, thanks.
