It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.

Cats know exactly how to get what they want from their owners. According to a 2009 study, they do it by mimicking babies crying.

Babies also cry in this frequency range (usually between 300 and 600 hertz), and humans find it difficult to ignore. Source: Mental Floss

any space for mistakes — only lessons. ~Unknown
