I am 40 years old and I have owned pets for most of my life and currently live with my partner, 5 year old son and our lovely silver tabby cat Rosie who we have had since she was a kitten and at 14 is now an old lady who spends a lot of time indoors and loves a warm lap to sleep on and lots of fuss. I grew up in a household with multiple pets. Throughout my lifetime I have had six cats, four dogs (three tibetan terriers and a medium sized crossbreed) rabbits and tropical fish.
