[kitten]Animals Too, Do Love
Sri Harold Klemp once told this story about Kittens.
Only a robot or a person new to reincarnation on earth would say no if asked. Can animals love? Highly evolved people accept it as a fact. They know it because of their better understanding of how God's love actually works - due to their longer enrollment here in the University of Hard Knocks.
Yes animals can love. There are too many such examples of animals behavior to doubt it. Love goes beyond instinct.
Although they are capable of showing love, animals - like many humans - can also show a strong dislike. That can change however.
A mother took her daughters, ages eight and ten, to a pet store and return home with a grey baby kitten, Socks. All went well for several weeks. Then her son,who had moved to a new apartment where pets were not allowed, brought over his cat, Spook.
Spook took an instant dislike to the kitten. At every opportunity, Spook hissed and swatted at Socks, which soon produced a bloody nose. But it got worse. One day the family had to nurse the kitten back to health because Spook's claw had injured Sock's eye, causing an infection.
In time, though, the two cats became inseparable friends. They did everything together. Then Spook had a litter of kitten. Socks became a second mother to them: licking them, keeping vigil with spook over them, even babysitting when Spook left for her drink, food, or just time off. Day after day, Socks stood in during Spook's break times.
The family later came across an article in the newspaper about whether animals can love. With such a pure example of it in their own home, this family has its own answer. Could there be any doubt?
