I have had several cats throughout my life My last cat was with me for 16 of her 19 years . She passed away in October 2021. She was much loved and we shared a wonderful relationship. She was my constant companion and precious friend and I still miss her very much . My neighbours cats still continue to visit I have looked after some neighbours cats while My neighbours have been way including one who was aged 22 and i was the only person she would tolerate apart from her dad . While i have never had a dog of my own several of my friends and family members have dogs and i have frequently spent time with them and we have got on very well . I feel that I have a special relationship with both cats and dogs.
