When you're sad, cats will cuddle in your lap. When you don't have anybody else, you have your cat. Boogie never complains about anything I do, (unless of course I forget to feed him). I've found cats are just a bundle of purrs, laughs, happiness, love, and joy. They are little angels. Boogie gives me tons of kitty love, although he is not the brightest or sweetest cat in the world, he is my furball, and that's good enough for me.
Of course, all pets give love. My dog, Samson, is sooo sweet and will sleep in bed with you, and so on. (Boogie will too, but Samson is more "cuddly")
Pets are wonderful! I think they must be from heaven. Speaking of heaven, my Mom thinks that pets will be in heaven when we get there, AND will be able to talk!! Wouldn't that be the sweetest thing?
