Lessons from the Cats

I think I should learn a lesson on ‘asking, believing, waiting and receiving’ from Badong and Kiko, the two cats in our very, very fine house, as the song goes. For the life of me, these cats act out some laws of abundance that I've trying to learn , as letting go and allowing.
Kiko when asking for his food or the cat food bowl to be replenished with fresh nuggets (this cat prefers it fresh, not left overs), just sits near the bowl patiently with his head and eyes turned upwards to get somebody’s attention. His eyes have this patient, humble and expectant expression that you would feel guilty not to do his bidding, when you happen to eyeball with him. And he just sits there waiting quietly and with upturned head and expectant eyes until forever. And you would be the most evil meanie in the whole universe if you don’t give in. Such trust that what he wants will come that he doesn’t mind waiting, but with such innocently hopeful eyes.

Badong , on the other hand, doesn’t sit down and wait . He goes near the cat food bowl and eats when he finds food there,fresh or not. If not, he just goes away and comes back again and again until he finds food in the bowl. Such elegant indifference,certainty and trust that food will appear sooner or later, that he doesn’t need to sit down right there and physically wait..

Such trust in me, their human, that I will be there to fill their cat food bowl, their water bowl.

Now, if I could have those attitudes towards my Source and Supply , God. And God is infinitely more caring, loving and generous with me than I could ever be with my cats.
