<3 Animals don’t get the credit that they truly deserve, and cats ESPECIALLY, do not receive their roses. It’s blatant when you put into perspective all that cats have contributed to humanity, going back from Ancient Kemet or Egypt, to modern day American cat videos all over the internet. Cats have a calm, dignified way of putting people at ease. Since even before humans ‘civilized’ (so to speak) Earth, cats and other animals have inspired them simply by way of being who they are. Some examples of the ways in which humans have picked up techniques from animals, are the rituals enacted by shamans from all around the world, who allow their bodies to adopt the animals anima, moving like the being, having been filled up with the spirit. Martial artists are also known to have based their styles off of animal forms and behaviors. In Norse mythology, a fylgja is an animal spirit who is tied to a person from birth, until death. It is believed that these spirits are an integral part of the self, and share many, if not most, lives together. This can be compared to the more well-known (but less accurate) ‘witches familiar’ in the new age community. For a more modern take on this theme, we can observe Pokémon, which is essentially a franchise that gets deeper into utilizing spiritual wildlife as a force for good, by seeing oneself in it, and applying these archetypal energies in a constructive way. In the western world, we also have Americans naming their professional football teams after panthers, eagles, jaguars, and many others. While this is almost assuredly an act of self and team empowerment, it too, gains from nature the very thing it seeks within. No matter how far humans will try to separate themselves from it, they just can’t seem to escape nature, because it is who they truly are.
