my thoughts exactly
That’s why I will get rid of my cat as I decline in years, unless my wife outlasts me. I won’t get a dog, either.
She will need to deal with the feline, then!
ha!
I just LOVE both dogs and kats
but yes, they are very different critters
Don’t get rid of your kitty, please. Just get a cat feeder that holds enough dry food for a few days and keep it full, and one for water. That way if anything happens to you and you have to go into the hospital your kitty will be okay.
All elderly people who live alone should make some sort of arrangement with a neighbor to check up on them or call a family member if they do not see them for some agreed upon period of time. (And feed kitty.)
