I have had numerous pets so far in my life. A cockerspaniel for 15 years, a german shepard/chow chow mix from the humane society. He had to be returned because he didn't care to be indoors and our yard is too small. Two lovebirds which we gave away to a bird breeder because we were expecting a baby and they were far too loud! Salt water fish which became too expensive and heartbreaking when losing a fish, a rabbit which died after 3 years and a hamster which died of old age. We now have a cockatiel who we adore and soon to be a third cat. I do feel rather guilty! I love animals. I don't know why I waited so long to get a cat. They have everything I ever wanted in a pet. Independant yet extremely loving. Am I alone in this or should I feel guilty. I love all of Gods creatures, yet I was clearly longing for something. I believe I have found that in our cats. They are a challenge but fun to groom and take care of. Christian
