This is so beautiful. The love and space we take up is such an important truth that I have not reflected upon much until now. I can feel myself expand and contract. And there is a bittersweet beauty to Lizzie's existential sadness and bewilderment. She is so clearly loved and appreciated by the humans who share the home with her being.

I'm with you, Vanessa. Compassion is how we humans are evolving, to feel our connection with all living things. The growth of compassion is a challenge individually because it's painful as much as it is transcendent. Culturally it's even more challenging.

As for cats, we'll, I see them as serene animals unburdened by thought or ego.
