This month’s cat vocabulary word is pet. Cats can be pets that we never own. Of course knowing cats, they probably think of us as their pets. Sometimes they look after us. When I was suffering from a concussion and post-concussion, Nuri tended to cuddle up to me and purr whenever I was resting on my still point inducer to help me recover.
She was so sweet. She never complained if I forgot to clean out her litter box. I’d feel bad about forgetting and tried to clean it out as often as I could remember.
Pets can and do keep us from being lonely. Sometimes that’s worth more than what we spend on them to take care of them.
