This shows how life should be but more times than not the opposite as strangers maintain their distances instead of closing the gap between the two physically and metaphorically speaking.

    You are right, and it is a pity. Seems animals have far superior social skills, quite often! Many thanks for reviewing.

Yes, we should never feel that we can relate only to those who have similar opinions either (as so much of social media is about). Embrace our differences is a great message, well depicted and versed here. Thanks for sharing, Wendy. Take care Debbie

Animals and children can both teach us lessons in acceptance and friendship, for they haven't learned differently and act from instinct.

What a beautiful cat. I've had two white ones over the years. Was it reunited with its family? You just say that you found out where it belongs.

Sunny will play with anyone or thing that wants to play, which makes my heart happy.

Thanks for sharing this Cinquain with us.

    Yes, It was reunited with its family, and it wasn't very far from its home. It was a really beautiful cat, still quite young I think.
    I love your first sentence, so true, and so important.
    Thank you so much for the lovely review.

Awe, this was so sweet, Wendy. Is that a picture you took? I'm always amazed at mother animals who take in babies that aren't theirs and even more amazed when they take in young from different species. Fun poem. Love that Sunny's gentle nature was evident to this cat. Gretchen

    Yes, I took a number of photos of them playing tgether, and then this quiet moment I found very moving. A lady walking across the street watched the two of them in amazement, and later asked me if they already knew each other. But they didn't. It was a very special fifteen or twenty minutes. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Maybe in his wise wisdom sensed the little kitten was lost and in need of some comfort and a friend. Whatever the reason, it was a sweet moment and I'm glad she found her home. Thanks for sharing. Smiles, Carol

    Thank you so much Carol. It was quite moving to see them together. A lady across the road stopped walking and watched in amazement.

Great use of this touching event in your life to expand it to the eventual message of cooperation and non-discrimination. Cats and dogs may be presented as traditional enemies but certainly if they are well-trained or raised together they can be friendly as in this instance.

Thanks for sharing the story and the lovely photo.
