When Animals Choose You

Whenever my friends visit with their pets, something magical happens. Their animals always find their way to me. They curl up near me, refusing to leave, as if drawn to a quiet energy they can sense but we humans often overlook. It’s not about tricks, treats, or games. It’s about something deeper. Animals feel presence. They feel energy.

When it’s time to leave, the drama begins—tails wagging, paws planted, eyes pleading. They don’t want to go. And in that moment, I feel the most honest compliment anyone can receive: the trust of an animal.

It’s the same with cats. Out of everyone in the room, this little black diva chose me. She walked right past everyone else, gave them all her famous feline indifference, and sat down near me like it was the most natural thing in the world. 🐈‍⬛💁🏻 Cats don’t fake affection. They don’t pretend to like you. If a cat chooses to sit near you, it’s because they feel safe. They feel your energy, and they approve.

Animals don’t care about appearances, social status, money, or words. They don’t care about the stories we tell about ourselves. They sense the truth. They know who you are without you having to prove it.

That’s why when animals trust me, I take it as one of the greatest honors. Because animals don’t lie. They just feel. And if they come to you, if they choose you, it means your energy speaks louder than anything else.

And maybe that’s the real lesson: people may misunderstand, judge, or put labels on us, but animals see straight through all of it. They remind me that the purest connections aren’t built on words—they’re built on trust, on presence, and on the quiet magic of simply being.
