    "Cats Protection has a lot of mature cats in need of a home and they don’t need to be high maintenance," says Flossie's owner Vicki. "All they want is a cuddle and somewhere warm to sleep. I’m glad that Cats Protection matched me with Flossie; adopting her has been rewarding for us both." 😻

    My oldest is 20, has diabetes and thyroid issues. Has had to have shots twice a day for 6 1/2 years now. She’s my baby and gets everything she wants. My 2 rescue cats and my 3 year old get everything they want too, but my oldest gets everything first. She’s the reason I’m still alive today, I couldn’t allow for someone else to care for her. So I chose to stay alive and care for her, 11 years later I’m still catering to her needs. She would die without me and couldn’t imagine her suffering from me not being there for her. She made me put down the shotgun with her constant meowing and pawing at my face. She was telling me not to go. I understood at that moment we both needed each other to live. I seeked help and everyday I’m reminded how grateful I am because of her.

One night I just sat on the floor gently petting him for a whole hour, knowing that probably that was his last day, he in fact did not wake up the next morning.
      I’m just glad I managed to be the last person he saw before crossing the bridge ❤

      why not just say your own age? ''we got her when I was 4 years old, and i'm now 27'' or whatever, feels odd to use your cousin as a 'age measurement' lol

      Hi kirasussane have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

      Yes it is.isnt it!
      cats and dogs can live longer. pet food ingredients have little to no regulations. spending a little more on a high quality pet food, like Purina One, and blood testing at the vet for senior animals, our pets would be living much longer. Supermarket, cheaper pet food, is dangerous to their health, over the long term. also, cut back on dry pet food! 🐱 🐾 🐶

I'm sure if you ask any pet owner if they would've rather had no pet at all, they wouldn't change their decision. Even though it's heartbreaking when they die, the memories that you have with them are truly amazing.
