Did you know that cats can be taught to read with perseverant training?

This feline is reading 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. George has just reassured Lennie that he's not mad at him and he never was mad at him.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”

'The Long And Winding Road’. I have held this song close to my heart since 1970. As a teenager I felt the urge for a more hopeful future. In retrospect, interpreted as a melancholic ballad with which McCartney seems to refer to the growing tensions that would lead to the band's breakup. 'Let It Be'

First of all, I would like to introduce you to my devoted cat Piet. Usually calm and wise. But when push comes to shove, she can come across as a bit sharp. Yet she approaches both light and serious subjects with generous nuance and justice. A lovable reference point in times of unrest and confusion
