We have five kittehs who keep me laughing all day. I consider them manna from heavy. I could not handle a large dog. All these kittehs came to our door: one on her own; twins; and one older brother and his younger sister.
Heavy should be heaven. DUH!
I have such a small apartment that to have any pet other than a bird would be considered cruel and unusual punishment and abusive, at best. At worst? Criminal!
