Dogs have taught me about unconditional love, but what I've learned from cats over the years is that it's important too, if you can, [to] give the kind of love someone is able to accept, that they want. Too often we want to give the kind of love we want to give or the kind that makes us feel good. Cats in particular seem hardwired to only be able to receive the kind of love they want, regardless of whether or not you want to be all snuggly and kissy-face with them.
