Today, we will look at characteristics of cats that can be spiritual. One article talks about cats’ things that keep them in touch with their spiritual side and what they teach us.

How Cats Absorb Negative Energy

If you haven’t picked up on this already, I love cats. I think cats are the most versatile animals in the world. They can be loving, mean, thoughtful, independent. They are practically little bundles of joy who happen to have fur with a built-in motor.

According to an article titled “What It Means When You Dream About Cats (Or See One),” black cats are seen as healers. Whi

Cats: Spirituality’s Best Friend

Cats and humans have always had a unique relationship. They only meow to us humans; they purr when they’re happy, they demand food, they can be mean and independent.
