018 - For the Love of Pets

The Love With Liana® Podcast

On today’s podcast episode, you are going to learn all about my cats Westley and Buttercup! They are the two little loves of my life, and I am so happy to have them as part of my family. Over these past nearly two years that I’ve welcomed them into my family, I have learned so much from them, but also myself.

😻 They have taught me so much about unconditional love.

They still lay on top of me or beside me no matter what I look like, how much I weigh, how I’m feeling, if I am employed or not, if I am productive or not, if I’ve put away laundry, or anything else. They just love me, and I love them back simply by being in presence with one another. It is a love unlike I have ever experienced—even different than romantic love with my husband.

😻 They have taught me so much about trust.

I trust that they will meow when they need something from me, and that I will do my best to know what they need always. I trust that they will be safe from the dangers that sometimes exist in the home (when we open unfinished closets, adjust the window screens, live on multiple floors, etc.). They trust me to not ever harm them while they are sleeping, eating, drinking, or any other vulnerable time. They love being held, and trust that I won’t hurt them while they sleep or rest in my arms.

😻 They have taught me so much about responsibility.

Me and my husband are their primary caretakers, and it is our job exclusively to make sure that their water and food bowls are full, their litter is clean, and that they have plenty of toys to play with and places to lay and relax. If they don’t feel well, it is important for us to know the signs that something isn’t right and to then take appropriate action. We are responsible to take them to the vet for regular checkups, and to make sure that they stay inside to avoid ticks and the like.

It’s safe to say I love these two cuties more than anything and my life is truly better because they are a part of it! I know that my husband and I are closer and happier together as a family than without them. It is so special, and if you have pets of your own, I’m sure you can relate!
