I took the cat home with me, but she wouldn't stay
in the house. But you know what, that cat stayed in our barn.
She never left the property till she passed away.

We question whether they think or if they have souls.
But that cat knew we freed her from her agony
and gave her another chance at life.
That my friends had nothing to do with her instinctive behavior.
She gave us her love staying near us. She never let me
hold her again, but she always let me see her.
So do I think they have souls. You bet.
Do they have wisdom. You bet. They think much more
then we give them credit for. Humans should be
so wise, faithful and loving.

Think about this, what if God did not give us a voice.
What if all we had was our minds.
Would you then think we have no souls?

Every animal just like humans, cries when hurt.
Or when they are hungry. Their natural
instinct is to kill something to eat.
But what about the animals who happen by your door,
and sit there at the steps and cry.
Just as a child or someone hurt,
would do who needs help. The wildlife like deer
who are embedded in ice on a lake
or river, struggling till a human risks their life
to go help it out. Most people who help animals,
especially wildlife or strays, will say
"the animal looked back at me,
as if to say thankyou".
Ask the volunteers who save dolphins,
seals, or whales grounded on the shores.
Ask someone who works in an animal shelter,
where they tend to abused animals.
That is not instinct, that is the spirit
in them responding. BE STILL, WATCH, LISTEN.
They can't talk, but they tell us much with their eyes,
their actions/behavior, their spirit/soul
which is in them.
