They're never just pets. . .

Love that leaves a pawprint on your heart 💜

Celebrate the special bond with your pet this Valentine’s Day. Because they’re never “just pets.”

#PurplePaw coming soon…

I am now 83 with health issues. l lost my last kitty to cancer.
Each one for the last 40 years, I enjoyed the companionship of one of these furry beast. Each of the last 4 lived to be over 12 years and gave me far more than I could do for them.
I am alone now and do not dare to adopt another. Health issues plus I am alone and if something happens to me, who cares for the kitty?
To those of you who enjoy the company of a cat, I envy you.
They are wonderful companions(except when one of them wakes you at 3AM.)
Best to you who have a furry beast to keep you company.
