Embracing, an act of endearment yet long lasting. Sometimes, we may try to hide affection, or pretend it doesn't exist; just as we do for other beings and objects around us. Cats being a symbol of femininity, are an example, being persecuted and misjudged constantly around us. Even those relating to them may have acted with agreement, giving in to the same negativity that has formed against them. Regardless, even toxic ideals eventually reach their end. When accepted with passion, those harmful opinions become null, and instead form into a comfort to those who can relate; and accept femininity for what it truly stands for.
