I got a PECULIAR Cat-memory.. I once saw a cat-family…and it was exactly like a human-family.. I’m sure, though, that the same could be observed with a family of Dogs..
It was like this: When i was a kid we used play in the hay, of a big, open section of my neighbor’s barn, that served as a hay-reserve – to crawl around in the little tunnels that the wild cats made in the hay in that big old barn(diiirty and ooold barn, full of cows and hay, with a large hay-storage).. And one time we crawled long until we got to the wood-plank-wall of the barn- the sun shining like laser rays through the cracks between the 5inch wooden planks of the barn’s wall, in the dust of the hay – and there we saw a cat mother cuddling with her kittens, So the little lair was actually lit from the sun shining through the plank, three little boys who had entered into something holy–a *CAT-HOUSE*, because the “hay-bubble”, the little hollow, they had dug out by the wall (probably to get sunlight during the day) was just like a room in the hay– our faces just inches from this female cat and her babies we lied there observing and feeling, smelling it in – and then suddenly the male father turned up, from another connecting tunnel opposite from the one we had dug our way through, and walked right up to her where she lied, basking in the sun with her babies, and gave her a bump with his nose on her nose, she bumping back…just like a husband coming home from work, kissing his wife, going “honey, i’m home!” – it was sooo peculiar..
I remember how shocked i was after experiencing this, over how similar it was to a human-way of the family unit.. How the male cat came in and was all proud he had knocked her up and gotten little kittens, and gave her a kiss like in a cat-manner.. It was like a scene out of ARISTOCATS, it honestly was – like human traits was in those cats, the father and the mother
And the peculiar thing was that they were not afraid of US – as the wild cats usually was..
What kind of peculiar animal-memories do you got?
