   I Vibe with other creatures whenever I'm around them.

   Cats, or 'squish kitties', as I like to call them, are a lot of fun. It's   
   only a matter of time before I start 'squishing' them - hugging them harder   
   and harder while they purr louder and louder because they Love affectionate   
   attention...after they finish playing rough and I get all bloody in the   
   process ;)

   I could never deliberately end an innocent creature's life - that would be   
   giving up on their life, something they'd never do themselves, because   
   they're fighters...a situation I know only all too well, having known no   
   other way but fighting to stay among the living since day one, and other   
   creatures do it to so I'm very honored to be one of them. Sure, I'd do   
   everything possible to deal with their pain and suffering, and if during   
   that process, they leave this world, that's one thing, but not deliberately   
   causing their death, because they'll fight to live and die fighting, and so   
   will I.   
   And besides, since humans are by far the most suicidal creatures around,   
   they should not ascribe a suicidal attitude to those who don't share it!!!

   I've got fond memories of our cats too.

   Nothing surreal about at all, that's simply telepathy with an empathetic   
   element. It's how the truly intelligent creatures, the nonhuman ones,   
   communicate, while although quite able, the vast majority of humans are so   
   Stupid, they deliberately Abandoned it, mostly because since they're so   
   Evil, they prefer to use spoken/written 'languag' *exclusively* because that   
   makes it easier for them to LIE, which is practically Impossible using   
   telepathy...or Music.

   That's a little like our Balinese kitty died, only he went in front of the   
   refrigerator, and we buried him in the morning.

   All creatures are supposed to communicate like that!

   The only thing evil 'wins' is Eternal Damnation!
