...See more I wrote this little story in response to another forum post earlier and wanted to share it ~! ^^ The Trapped Lion 🦁 A tiger was walking through the jungle when he came upon a lion trapped in a net! ‘The lion shouted to the tiger - Please help me! I got trapped in this net and desperately want to get free!’ The tiger quickly used his teeth to tear a hole in the net and allowed the lion to escape. The next day, the tiger was surprised to come again upon the lion trapped in the net in the exact same location! The lion shouted - ‘Please help me, I’m trapped in this net and desperately want to be free!’ So again the tiger used his teeth to tear a hole in the net and the lion was once again free. On the third day, the tiger was not at all surprised to find the lion trapped again in the net in that exact same location. He again heard the lion’s familiar plea -‘Please help me! I’m trapped in this net and desperately need to get free!’ This time however, the tiger merely stood very still, deep in thought. Then, as the tiger walked away he heard the lion shouting - ‘Come back! Aren’t you going to help me?! I’m trapped in this net and desperately need to be free!’ The tiger paused and replied simply: - ‘Your desire to be trapped in that net outweighs your desire to be free. I cannot truly free you from that net because it is YOU who is putting yourself in that trap. In truth, it is not the net that restrains you - You are trapped by your own desire to be trapped… Therefore, only you can truly set yourself free.’ CatsInTheCradle 🐯

The best listener I've ever had! A kind, compassionate soul who knows the right words to steer your thoughts in the right direction from an ocean in turmoil. Oh, I should also add that he has an incredible sense of humour.
One of the loveliest listeners around. Kind human and funny as well
Very helpful and patient listener
Super supportive and understanding.
catz is an amazing listener!! they are one of the best listeners i have met on 7cups. They are warm, fuzzy, witty, smart and very caring. And they remind me of my pet cat and chicken :D
amazing
Amazing listener
Catz is super cute ^~^ ~pets catz
I was so happy to have been connected with CatzInTheCradle. It felt like I was talking to a patient friend and not just a trained Listener with typical robotic responses. I came into the conversation feeling confused and indecisive, but I came out feeling more grounded and equipped with answers that I never thought I'd have. Things finally make sense to me and I have CatzInTheCradle to thank. 10/10
It was nice chat, easy to talk to and can understand u
She was wonderful and very intelligent. It was a pleasure speaking with her. She helped give me insight and make me feel like I made the right decision with a breakup I'm going through
Catz was empathetic and compassionate to both myself and someone who I was discussing that I very much loved but had also caused me a great deal of pain. I was impressed by their ability to entertain both positions in their hearts and guide me through my emotions and thoughts to a place where I could make a healthy decision for both of us. Thank you so much
Very kind
Thank you..
CatzInTheCradle...is the best CatinTheCradle :P Very empathic man, kind, analytical and puts you first and foremost. He does not push and allows you to tell your story while making it very known he supports you throughout. If you want a listener that feels like a friend, do so with him :)
Thanks for being a cool cat in private and group chats! You helped me sort my worries around anxiety and figuring out what way to go was much easier with you. It's great how attentive you were even though I messaged you randomly!
Catz is an interesting soul with many perspectives. Can help you analyze your situation.
thanks
