Pets are great, cats are great .
My cat is 14 yrs old , he's a real freind. doesnt ask for much in return for the love , affection and entertainement he provides.Picked him up at the pound as a kitten, he fit into the palm of my hand.
He chose me basically, he put up such a fuss when I was looking at the cats, I had to take him out of his crate & hold him, He immediatley molded into my chest and purred beyond belief. How could I say no to him?
Animals also know when you're not feeling well and have a way of helping to comfort you.
