My Cats by Charles Bukowski

I know. I know. they are limited, have different needs and concerns

but I watch and learn from them. I like the little they know, which is so much

they complain but never worry, they walk with a surprising dignity. they sleep with a direct simplicity that humans just can't understand

their eyes are more beautiful than our eyes. and they can sleep 20 hours a day without hesitation or remorse

when I am feeling low all I have to do is watch my cats and my courage returns
