RE: ---- How taking in a troubled cat helped me become a better person ----

in #animals7 years ago

Great job in telling the story of Checkas. 10 years is a long time to spend in the good company of an animal and by then, they are embedded into your life like your big toe. Thanks for taking Checkas in and giving her a life. We have done the same for 17 cats and two dogs over the last 30+ years. We took in three siblings once and tried to find them good homes. They lived with us for 17 years. So much love these animals give in return. So many good memories.

Wow that is quite a lot of animals you have taken in, its good to see so many people in the community expressing a love of animals and treating them like sentient beings with feelings and thoughts. Helping them in their time of need and taking time to get to know these animals as well as allowing them to express themselves. I think if more people utilized empathy compassion and understanding, not only for animals but in general, that the world would be a far better place.
