a pet, in my case a cat, in the fierce, entire and unambivalent way that some of us do?" --opening line of "The Islands", a short story by Alice Adams.
I found it in "Cat Stories", the latest in the Everyman's Pocket Classics series of anthologies. For a similar summation of a cat's life and celebration of the cat-human relationship, see Rebecca West's essay, "Why My Mother Was Frightened of Cats", in "The Essential Rebecca West" published by Pearhouse Press, 2010.
