My Inner Albus
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
I would compare myself to a cat, because I think I share some characteristics with my own cat Albus. First of all I am a home lover and I am never happier than when I can be safely inside my four walls. Yes, I do go out, but I always look forward to getting back to what is familiar. Second, I am loyal to, and comfortable with, a small number of people. Albus is incredibly affectionate with people he knows and trusts but he steers clear of those he doesn’t. There are occasions when I think that diving for cover or heading to the foot of the garden is far preferable to being sociable 🤣🤣! Third, I am always looking out for those I care about, checking in from time to time and making sure all is as it should be.
I am aware that Albus is not your typical cat but if I channel any animal it’s definitely him. We are very similar in personality and approach to life and I can’t imagine anyone else from the animal kingdom I would rather be. After all, humans, animals themselves with no spiritual characteristics lifting above any other life form, would be so much better if they actually learned from other animals rather than believing they were better than them! This is why I like the approach of Buddhists who live in harmony with animals and see themselves as part of the same world.
