      I agree after Vietnam my father was always comforted by animals. I was always allowed to rescue any number of animals. One time we had 5 dogs and 13 cats.😆 When my father passed at the VA I ended up rescuing a small dog. I gave it to my Uncle to help him overcome my father's death. Animals really are soothing to us because they are pack animals.
      War is horrible and it scars the soul deeply. I'm really glad you are the old cat guy.

      Forgot to add that one of my customers (I called the people customers and the pets my clients since I looked after their needs instead of their people) adopted a dog with a sty on its eye when other people wouldn't. I told her what it was and it could easily be removed by vet and not cost too very much she was pleased. But even more so when I told her she had a Brussels Griffon pup, and possibly the breeders dropped it off at the pound so they didn't pay a vet bill.

    I've got a cat like that. Her name is fluffy she's about 11 years old. She's the most personal cat of my 5 cats as well. Having regular conversations with me. At one time I had 12 cats,,but over the years they passed away from natural causes. One cat that I would feed but I could never get near..Chance was her name,,actually Second Chance was her name but I just called her Chance. She was waiting for me at the door one day with half her fur missing on her lower back. She let me pick her up and go to the Vet. We think she was being chased and she went under a chain link fence catching her skin on the sharp edges. 3 weeks she stayed with me letting me take care of her. Not once did she hiss or scratch me in that time. We also found out that she was pregnant and had 8 kittens. One was still born..I still have 2 of them with me now. The others found homes.

      If you love both dogs and cats, you wouldn’t say that a cat is better suited for your personality .. especially if you have a pet dog already...whichever species you have , is a special part of the family . Many dogs have personalities of cats and many cats have personalities of dogs. . Also, our pets are a reflection of the love they receive from us and they mirror our quirks too.. especially if there’s an emotional connection.

    How adorable, I can relate to this story quite a bit, although I have always been a cat person. My current cat, "Goblin" came into my life (she literally ran into my arms from the streets as I was stood at my front door talking to a cat's charity person) when I was having a very hard time and she saved me by giving me her absolute love and affection. Much like Gremlin she has to be near me or cuddling with me and I am so grateful that she chose me that day, I am not sure if I would still be here anymore if she hadn't.

She was an adult feral with eight kittens when she chose me. These cats are super tough and hardy so I'm hoping she'll be around for many years to come. I just wish she'd use the litter box and not go outside at all but it's not happening. I've lost too many to cars, coyotes, mountain lions, etc... My girl Mama almost died twice from two separate attacks, one coyote, one cat, but thankfully these days she stays very close to home. I still worry every time she steps out the door though.

Had to order a new name tag mind you. She went out once each time and came back collar free. The big monkey! 😂 The second one was actually quite traumatizing for us both though. Not sure if she did this on purpose or not but she got her collar stuck on a ladder that was lying on the ground. She started doing death rolls like an alligator or crocodile. Instead of the collar breaking away, it was twisting and strangling her. Thankfully I happened to walk around that side of the house when this was happening. It was the scariest thing to ever have to watch. Needless to say, I'm never putting another collar on her ever again. She is microchipped though! I've actually looked up chipping her with a GPS. Lol. I still wish there was something I could do so that people would know she's my spayed pet and no longer a feral. Thankfully, these days she also hangs around the house most of the time and is actually indoors a lot, most definitely at night.
