much cared for dolls). And I used to wish they'd come to life like they did in books and movies. Recently as my sweet little girl curled up next to me for the night and nudged her head under my hand for pets, I realized my childhood wish had come true.

by doing this. Not bad "give and take" if you ask me. Forget about getting married and having kids, get a dog, way better! I find myself smiling when I look at a dog's contentment. If I had a tail it would be wagging.

curled up around my knees, one curled up on my lap, and another cat stretched out on my chest, all of them purring. They're just as affectionate as dogs if you treat them right. You have to work a little harder to earn their love & trust is all.

We had cats when my daughter was little. Pets of any kind bring much joy to our human existence. Especially RESCUED animals. We all need to do our part for our furry critter friends.
(but I still think cats are useless... )

I LOVE dogs but my kitties were priceless too.

If you hate cats, you don't know and understand them well enough.

I love them to the moon and back and I make sure they know it. We are their entire lives and all they will ever know.
