The cat awakened your love. You knew this was to happen and you chose the means. Now, in so doing, you also gave affection to the animal and awakened within it characteristics it did not have earlier. In other words, you stretched the extensions of its own awareness and consciousness. You brought it up, to put it very simply. The consciousness of the cat grew and developed. You taught it communication. Now I am not speaking in words of physical communication but you opened up its awareness. Now though it seems to you perhaps at this point tragic, the facts are that the real tragedy would have occurred had the cat lived, in your terms, and had you curled up in it, in your house on the corner, and turned your love inward to the animal rather than outward, for there are people who need it.

You knew, and I am not implying, I am not implying guilt. You knew what was going to happen when you let the animal out at that corner. The animal felt no pain. It left its body immediately. You aided in the development of its consciousness and it helped you by renewing your love; but as the animal changed its form so also now this reawakened love must look outward.
