    Animals can establish POWERFUL connections with people. During her last few years of life, my mom used a rolling walker with a fold-down seat to get around her home. I had a cat that loved to ride on it and go wherever she went. Nothing made her smile more than his affection for her.

      I'm disabled so I also use a roller walker with a seat on it. Wherever I am, if I'm not using my walker, it's right beside me. My cats jump on it all the time to be near me and get pets. They love to go for rides too. If I put one of them on it, they immediately understand that I'm taking them somewhere with me, just like if I was carrying them in my arms. I also have a wheelchair (for when I go out) and my cats love to sleep on that.

      @@dad4ever-c90 there's just something pets have (and we lost a long time ago) that allows them to connect more subtly and strongly to the beginning and end of life. Your mother was lucky. 💓🥺

    Animals are the best friends anyone could have. Those out there who only see these creatures as a cause for chores, do not deserve them. Every pet deserves a good human though. No human is as loyal as an animal. I want nothing more than a pet of my own, a soul mate, an animal that is happy when it sees me, and cheers me up with silly moments or cuddles, but because I have a very small flat and little money, I can't give a potential pet a worthy home, but it would have my undivided attention and love which is more than can be said for many pets who belong to rich people.
