There’s something about a cat. A cat sitting in a window, watching the world, observing each detail. The stillness of a cat, alert but relaxed.  Like in the poem "Pax" ,by D.H. Lawrence, where the cat embodies a sense of belonging. It slips into place, and rests. How I admire that! To watch and rest until the time for action? To not be anxious or tense? To be one's self and trust. How beautiful.
