Waheeda Remembering Her Cat Izzy: A Study in the Consciousness of a Child

---

This article is based on a single interview session with a 7-year-old girl, Waheeda, regarding the cat Izzy that Waheeda used to have 2 years before the interview. The interview was part of a research project that explored the relationships of multicultural children with their companion animals. The article first tries to give a larger impression of Waheeda’s way of being (including consciousness) in two segments of the interview, using the philosophy, concepts, and techniques of Portraiture in the sense of Lawrence-Lightfoot and Davis, and Witz. The last section suggests that Waheeda’s way of being in the interview is a natural developmental precursor of the consciousness in adults when they talk about things they have experienced in the past, and that her “self-actualized” behavior in the second segment shows the love that had arisen in her for her cat Izzy.
