Does perfectionism have a spot in true kinship with animals? That probably depends on your cosmology and perspective. Perfectionism - that’s what we’re exploring in today’s episode of the True Kinship With Animals Podcast.

Episode Quotes

“Listen up folx, this is important: Animals are not an extension of our agency. But it’s so insidious how that assumption sneaks in!!! Here I was thinking I was doing the best I could for cat Raven, having his best interest at heart, and at the same time I was invalidating his agency.”

“Then I had the sudden realization — like a light bulb going on — that’s not realistic. That’s an illusion that points the spotlight on ME and what I want, what I think our life together SHOULD be. It left Raven’s wants and needs out of the picture and assumed he wanted what I did.”

“I don’t know about you, but I don’t spider nearly as well as a spider does.”
