ive always had a cat . my old cat (he died in jan this year) kept me alive. he was my responsibility . i felt a duty to take care of him. when he died i was devastated. i got a new cat and we have bonded well.

i think, for me, having a cat with me helps because i live alone. i talk to him and tell him things. he greets me when i come home. its just nice to have something here with me.
