I have always had pets in my life from childhood where we had dogs and cats. Once married we had mainly cats but also a small dog and a rabbit when the children came along. Our children now have pets of their own and we still have a cat. We have only had 3 cats in 51 years as they all lived a long happy cosy life in our household. I am retired so I have more time now to look after pets for other people giving cuddles love and affection and walks for dogs...
