This was one of those grab-me-by-the-heart, must-share-immediately stories. I’m a firm believer that cats can teach us a lot about loving each other well, and this true tale expands upon that in a most amazing way.

What a gift this gentle soul and his animal family are giving to us all in their living parable of peace.
