What is good about having a pet?

I think the best thing about having a pet is the companionship they provide. You may have human family around, or not, but pets have a way of being there that provides company without the drama other people can bring.

Provided you care for them correctly, they welcome you home after work as though you are the most important person in the world. So many times, I’ve had a rather rubbish day at work, but Cuddles has done her best ‘welcome home’ and I have a smile on my face again. That is the best feeling ever!

As any cat owner will know, cats can be a little ‘special’ in that they do some rather stupid stuff. These antics that they get up to are so funny and cute at the same time that you can’t help but laugh. Our Cuddles is rather good at this.

There are then the hugs, which are always wonderful. All cat owners know that once your dear furball is on your knee, you don’t move for anything until your cat moves as you never know when the next one is! We rarely get hugs in the summer, but over winter we get so many of them, it’s great!

Just having a pet around is great. They can be annoying and expensive, but I love having my little girl around for the cute crazy antics, the chats with my cat (she’s a rather vocal little thing and is rather bossy when hungry!) and the cuddles in winter.
