 We don't deserve #cats and #dogs.

Prove me wrong.

Prove me wrong"

Dear The Gamer's Tavern at mstdn games: I believe that many human beings do deserve the friendships of cats and dogs because cats and dogs are social animals who often seek our companionship. Love is a two way street created by tearing down the barriers of lack of communication between humans and cats and dogs. Just yesterday a cat came up to me, said hello to me, I had first honored the cat's personal space, the cat decided to extend friendship to me, so the cat and I talked back and forth. There is no possible way that I am able to prove you right or wrong, each person walks his/her life's path, you will encounter good and bad people along the way. 

I am an animal lover of both cats and dogs; I love birds, desert tortoises, rabbits, etc. I do not think that everyone deserves the friendships of cats and dogs right away, friendships are built upon trust that is earned. 

I trust the instincts of the cats and dogs that I meet to ultimately decide whether or not a cat or dog wants to be my friend!
