Hi Yvonne01 sorry you lost your cat sally is all ways by my side as for her sister makes me happy with how she is still in kitten mode at 7  her name gives you a clue how she its scooby-doo as its where are you now and what are you doing now as to she still keeps taking sally teddy bear and put it in her hiding place for her toys and all i get is sally looking at me has thought to say see i new that she was going to be trouble

I love cats, but have decided, that I am going to get a little dog from now on, for my Son's benefit, because he ll be able to take it on walks, to the beach etc, he will love it!!!!!

That's a great idea @Yvonne01! My daughters have both been after a dog for a while and I'm starting to come around to the idea. I think they'll really benefit from the companionship.
