I suppose part of the good or bad luck that accompanied me in life came from that night, could it be?

🤣

I know you're joking, but words chain us. Say the opposite, and reprogram your mind.

My cat Yin, which I don't feel is mine, has given me a few lessons and it's just as you say. They have no attachment, it's all about survival and when they choose you... they give you the possibility to enjoy them, always to a certain extent.
Don't overdo it, love yourself first, they seem to tell you.
It's an art they have of managing relationships. Lol. But I have always preferred dogs.
