Deer Visits Cat Every Morning Pictures. Got this in an email.


Deer visits every morning

Enjoy! This picture was taken in Harrisburg , Pennsylvania .
It's just too awesome not to share. Deer visits cat in yard every morning! The owner finally took pics.












Those we love don't have to be exactly like us. Life is too short for
drama and petty things so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly,
forgive quickly and pray often! "Friendship isn't about whom you
have known the longest, it's about those who came and never left
your side."

...Can there be concept too much of the (as though) 'good' (the for what the individual hankers)? Can't we always seek more happiness in some cute way?
The manifest jagat (universe, the creation, transactional reality) seems to delight in flowering in ways cute and cunning.
The cute is maya (measured, mater)
The cunning is ishvara (constant, ever-present, knowledge)

We have deer in our yard every day. I love watching them even though they are eating my azaleas. I wish my do would love a deer. Not her! She barks like heck when she sees everything even a turtle

Ah, she is just protecting her Mama!

Unless you are using a telephoto lense, it seems the deer got into your valium stash.

That it's like my area. Five deer were walking up the street when I went to get the newspaper. This is in the suburbs of Mississippi, but they aren't particularly afraid of people anymore, and there are a bunch of them *everywhere*.

has started becoming an indoor cat. She was pretty much feral before we got to know each other. Cats are way more intelligent than a lot of folks give them credit for - they just don't take shit off of anyone, and if you aren't dishing it out, cats are fantastic.

I love my two cats.

animals have it all figured out....and most humans are just idiots destroying what provides them life.

I don't think I've found an animal that I don't like. And each has its own personality.

The older I get the more I love animals and the less I like people....maybe it's just the process of aging???

Sure they may play lip service to the "cuteness" of it. But they would soon erase these images from their Fox-addled brains. Its because the message of the story is that everything in the world is not a black and white issue. That there is room for acceptance of activities and creature behaviour (including human), that is out of the norm of what they deem acceptable. So they miss out on celebrating diversity in all its forms. Its the price they pay for the false security of knowing their place, what is expected of their wife husband child and even their pet, as well as the Others place, and who exactly is the REAL God and the true religion etc...

So its one benefit of being a liberal or progressive or whatever you want to call yourself. Those with more open minds with tolerance and empathy for others, those that question authority instead of worship it, those who see the positive possibilities of people working together to create a better world. As opposed to those that are perpetually paranoid and believe the best way to move forward is to erase anyone that doesn't accept their narrow world view.

Next thing you know deer and cats will want to get married for Pete's sake!

every time they came into the back yard she'd run out and greet them, they'd all touch noses. One time I looked out the window and she was laying directly beneath the belly of a grazing deer. I have some photos but they aren't as good as these ones.

Deer seem to like cats. My friend had cats, most of them she rescued, and they got along great with the deer who came through her property every day.

But these photos are really wonderful. And I love what you wrote at the end!
