I also have no children, so cats were more important to me than to most people. I decided I couldn't take losing any others, so I haven't gotten a new one. But it's easier to have pets in the US than in Egypt (too hot & full of dangerous critters), so I hope you choose to give another cat a good home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-85400535624455894912017-05-18T10:41:34.536-04:002017-05-18T10:41:34.536-04:00Congratulations on your blogversary!

It was the first time in my life I didn't have my pets to keep me company and for me to take care of. After a few months I ended up adopting two kitties who needed a home. It is so very hard to love and lose pets. Sending hugs!<br /><br />Congrats on 12 years! Blogging continues to change and evolve- but I love it and the connections I have made over the past 6 years. :) <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-6068796775190832042017-05-15T18:05:14.059-04:002017-05-15T18:05:14.059-04:00All the best with your new book.
