I have two kittens and a Guinea pig. The Guinea pig is old, about six years, so I'm not sure how much time he has left on this earth. The kittens I just got In May. I love them. I got them because my older cat wasn't very affectionate and I wanted cats that would lay with me at night because I'm super lonely at night. The kittens do that. They lay on me and purr all the time. They calm me and help me feel less lonely.

Unfortunately my older cat did not like the kittens and he ran away :-( he's been gone for about a month. He left on May 29 and stayed away for two weeks; then he came back for a night and took off again I the morning. He came back ten days later but refused to come inside. He's still fat, so I think he found another family to take care of him. I wish he would come back but I can't force him to stay if he doesn't like the kittens. Hopefully he'll come and visit again soon.
