Hello! I'm a cat owner but an all animals lover. I love being outside, and taking doggos for a nice walk or sniff adventures is all I need for a good afternoon. I've owned Great Danes and a detroit special, a responsible poo picker upper no matter the size.
As far as cats go, I give the best chin scritches and butt pats.
