Cat

Personally, I'm a cat person. In my opinion, dogs are too needy and dependent. Hate it when they beg for food, but totally understand dog people and the bond they form with a dog.

A dog has a master.

had cats most of me life..few dogs too..but best cat I ever had was one I adopted from the pound. Renamed him Seamus. He was an orange cat & already 8 when I got him. Took to his new name in 1 day, & was very responsive to it. He remained within my property boundries(even tho he had been indoor cat all his life) & HUGELY social..& he had his "favorites". One of those "Favourites" was my buddy Frank. He lives in Blighty. When Frank came to hunt bear, we ended up coming back to my house(Frank got his bear 1st hour of 1st day of hunt - & we had a terrible heat wave.I had a pool). Seamus took to Frank bigtime. Fast fwd 1 1/2 yrs..Frank returns to go ice fishing. Soon as Seamus heard Frank's voice he ran to him(before he got in the door) & jumped up into his arms..purring like crazy.Following November Frank came back to hunt deer - same scenario. Seamus passed away on 26 Jan 2021. I still grievingly miss him.

We have always had cats. Currently we have 3 of them. The youngest is a boy and a pure terrorist. The next is a female and is totally loving and the oldest is the head cat and he was a competition winner.

This Little Man sat on this wall for years before we realized he didn't belong to anyone in the complex. We took him in simply because he needed to be rescued.. He was messed up from the feet up but within a few months he got better. We got him to a vet and he was given  the necessary shots he desperately needed. We do not know how old he was but last October he passed away. Oreo was in our lives for just a short while but left a lasting impression on us and will forever be missed...
