Feline Quotable Photo Series – The Heart and Soul of Loving an Animal
Seen here is our handsome boy, Zee, who is the epitome of an animal that gives his love with all his heart and soul… Please click on the image to see its full beauty.
If you have experienced the love of an animal, you know that no truer words could be spoken and that is why I appreciate this quote so much and felt it perfect to share for Wordless Wednesday. Not only does loving an animal awaken your soul, but they also give you a reason to wake up each and every day with a sense of joy and purpose. And even more wonderful is the love they give back to you – even if you are having a tough day, or feeling out of sorts or alone, they are by your side, unconditionally, making you feel like the most special person in the whole world. In short, they complete your life and I would not want to ever imagine a world without these incredible creatures.
Anatole France (April 1844 – October 1924) was born in France and was a poet, journalist, and novelist. While this quote of his clearly emphasizes his understanding of the love an animal can bring into our lives, I was unable to find any direct relationship to cats or pets in his life. The closest I could find was a reference to one of his later works, L’Île des Pingouins, which satirizes human nature by depicting the transformation of penguins into humans after the animals have been baptized by mistake by the nearsighted Abbot Mael. Hmmm….not sure what to make of that, but I do appreciate his quote and I think that Zee is the perfect spokescat to champion the cause worldwide to let a pet into your heart and home!
This quote just says it all, doesn’t it. Beautiful.

No truer words have been said.
That is one of my favorite quotes. Thank you for sharing, and for expounding upon it!
Lovely – and oh so true!

I have never been without a cat or dog in my life, except my first year in college living in a dormitory. As soon as I was able to get an apartment, I got a little cock-a-poo, who lived for 19 years. I believe that quote to be entirely true. My animals have always given me a reason for being. Janet
