The therapeutic benefits of pets have been documented by physicians, as well as scientist. Pets can act as therapists, physical fitness trainers, as well as heart warmers. They lower our blood pressure, remind us to online in the moment, as well as keep us warm at night.
And sometimes, pets grace us with just extraordinary moments. I phone call them “moments of magic.” To qualify as a moment of magic, it has to be something that doesn’t occur every day. I’m not speaking about the joy we feel when our pets greet us at the end of a long day, or the exhilaration we feel when we watch them play. I’m speaking about those truly special, unusual and, well, magic moments.
I had one of those magic moments the other day. I was working at my desk. Ruby was on my lap, Allegra on the desk in front of the computer, just about sitting on the keyboard. (Working with two feline assistants isn’t always the most productive method to get things done.). Allegra touched her nose to Ruby (a indication of affection between cats), as well as Ruby provided her a sluggish blink in return (a cat’s method of stating “I like you.”) My heart melted.
Now mind you, those two get along beautifully in general. They play and hang out together. They often touch noses throughout the day. however I’d never seen them exchange the sluggish blink up until that day. That’s what made the moment magical.

Sometimes at night I get up gasping for air. It is benign however extremely scary. One night not as well long back this happened. I woke up, sat up turned on the light, leaned back onto my pillows. Frankie woke up walked right over as well as sat on my chest. He stayed there, purring, for about 15 minutes. This is not his usual behavior. I understood what was happening as well as just opened my heart chakra to his healing energy. It was a magic moment.

A wonderful moment of magic for me was just recently with Steeler. Steeler is not a lap feline as well as choosing her as well as cuddling her is out. about 2 weeks ago, perhaps more, she get going around as well as around my chair. I had no concept what she wanted. I tried food, petting as well as treats. No that wasn’t it. then for some reason I looked into her eyes as well as she was looking up at me in a different method than I had ever seen. I reached down as well as chosen her up. Held her close as well as she cuddled into my neck. My Steeler just wished to be held for the extremely very first time ever. That is magic as well as now I understand when she needs to be cuddled. She is as we humans are. There are times we requirement that hug as well as this was time for Steeler to requirement her hug.
It was as well as is magic, that I will never fail to remember that feeling of total like as well as trust from her.

One truly magic moment for me is when I am ill or unfortunate as well as lying on the sofa or my bed, as well as Zoe comes snuggle up… This is so heartwarming as well as true magic! as well as likewise when my mom’s Lilli as well as Tommi sleep in the armchair actually hugging eachother, their bit faces touching eachother… Pure bliss!

It’s fantastic exactly how cats sense when we’re not feeling well, isn’t it Anna? I hope that eventually, Allegra as well as Ruby will snuggle together.
