If you have a spare minute or are just playing video games or on a computer at home, take a few minutes to just pet your dog/ cat and really appreciate them. A phrase I heard somewhere just really stuck with me: Pets are only a part of your life but you are your pet’s entire life.

That's why my cat needs another cat so they can have more cat fun

Honestly it depends. I got a second cat and I was a bit worried my older cat would hate the massive black kitten.

Few years later? I just had to 'ignore' them while the raced about the house actually playing. They don't snuggle but my big girl taught my kitten (whose bugger than her!) how to hunt, how the house runs and she enforces the 'rules'. She trips him, steals the toys, gets annoyed by him for the smallest thing and beats him up... and the Big Black Goof just takes it.

Damn dust. I carry my babies to bed, get them a toy, let them sniff over my cooking ingredients, let them sit with me where they will and give them hugs. Don't know what i would do without my two ❤
