Did You Get a New Kitten for Christmas?

A new, furry, lovable kitten is always fun, but sometimes that fun wears off when the holidays are over. I've always believed that if you're going to be a pet owner, you need to be a responsible pet owner. It breaks my heart to see animals mistreated because their owners are tired of them. All of us who are animal lovers know how precious these little lives are and that they deserve good care like the rest of our family.


If the animal was a gift that you don't want anymore, then please find it a home where it can be happy or put it in a no-kill shelter. The shelters are full of pets looking for a forever home. Some people prefer to adopt an older animal rather than getting a young one. An older cat is not as mischievous as a kitten can be nor are they as active.



Of course, who could turn this down?

If you're up for some adventure, you could always adopt a feral cat. It took my Sammy a long time to learn to trust humans, but the patience was worth it. He is the most lovable lap cat now and just gives me so much joy.






No matter which method that new cat arrived, they will return your love many times over.








Through all of this, however, you have to remember one basic fact. No one owns a cat!







And finally...............
