Yes, raw makes a lot of sense. I still feel raw over my cat dying and that was almost 20 years ago.
I wonder if a cat could be a friend for you now. Did you know that there's something about cat's purring that strengthens our bones? It's true. That's why cats purr when they have their own bones to heal and mend.
I think every older person should have a cat, for that reason alone. Excellent natural strengthening for osteoporosis. I don't know if I can get a cat due to allergies/COPD. But unless you have serious possible allergies.. there's no reason you can't try it for a few days. Maybe be a foster mom for an overflowing shelter?
I know it's the last thing you want to hear or think about, but it's something you really could benefit from. And something poor little kitties could benefit from too.
