I’ve always had an affinity for cats, big and small.
I sometimes see my old cat roam around the house as a small shadow. At first, I think that it is my current cat, but then I glance over and see nothing there. :)
I’ve also had experiences with the cat goddess Bast. She usually talks to me in dreams, though every now and then I catch a glimpse of her in the corner of my eye. Once she appeared as an oversized domestic cat, but she mostly appears as a black panther or a lioness.
I don’t practice totemism, but I think that people can learn a few lessons from watching animals, cats included. Cats know how to relax anywhere, at any time. You can earn the affection and loyalty of one, but you will never truly own one. And, most importantly, they never forget to take the time to play.
