Cat lovers will say the same thing, they know their cats, too.

Somebody got paid to ‘prove’ the obvious?

Hell, I can tell what my snakes are thinking and they don’t really have “expressions”.

[but they do have definite body language]

Look at my profile. Then tell me about cats, love and emotions...

So sorry to hear that.

Better to get a puppy to fill the void (when the time is right).

Well go get another one. You’ll love the new one just as much.

I only went about a week between when Mr Brown died and bringing Bowser home.

I miss mine too — lost him February 8. And yes, I could tell what he was thinking by the look on his face.

My beautiful Golden Retriever was suffering from pancreatic cancer. The vet brought him in and asked him to lie down on a blanket, while we gathered around and petted him. The vet gave him his shot, and I watched all the care and pain vanish from his face as he relaxed. Even his fur relaxed and he just looked peaceful when he was gone.

I’m glad that I stayed for that (even though I didn’t want to) because I felt at peace too. He was such a good dog andgood friend. RIP, Max.

Sorry to hear that, Andy. I feel for you, I really do. There have been people in my life who have died that I seriously couldn’t give two sh*ts about, but there are dogs that I will miss until the day I die.

The same #10 response to Andy goes for you, too. Glad that you found peace.

I know how you feel. I lost Wink in 2011 and I still mourn.

Thank you. It still hurts, and I’m still finding dog hair around the house and the office. (He was a Golden, after all.) I think of him all the time.

I’m going in for knee replacement surgery in 2 weeks. Otherwise, there was a really cute Labrador puppy advertised at the Humane Society today...
