Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed reading about them. They’ve all been so different, but I love them all the same 🙂

Good point! Non-pet owners really don’t get it, but hopefully some day they will.

I wonder what the dog equivalent of purring is? Stetson snores pretty loud 🙂

Maybe you can take your cats and certify them as therapy cats. Linus is very good at sensing emotions, but he doesn’t usually try to sit on my lap unless he’s scared.

Very well said! Thanks for sharing your story and your love for animals. Maybe it’s time for you to get a friend for Lulu 🙂

I agree, there’s nothing better than a cat on your lap. It’s animal therapy

Once your children leave, your pet companions become your best friend and are always there for you. I remember when I would come home from 8 hour days at the nursing home my Mom was in, feeling so sad and tired, my cats would cuddle up to me just knowing that I needed some extra attention. It was also during those sad days that 2 of my 3 cats actually became “lap cats”….it’s a wonderful feeling having the cats sit in your lap just purring away…..

We have always grown up with lots of animals as you know and I think as a child I always had a very deep connections with our “animal companions.” I remember the first magazines I subscribed to were Cat Fancy and Dog Fancy magazine. From there, I started receiving information on the Humane Society, PETA and other similar animal groups as a very little girl. I had Mom send $5 of my allowance to one of the groups to help save the homeless animals. From this, my love and bond with our pets has only grown for me. The relationships and joy they have brought me is invaluable. I now only have 1 cat, Lulu, but my dedication to helping animals continues, including being a vegetarian. I will always have pets and am so glad that our family lots of animals friends for me to enjoy!
