Why I Love Cats

I Saw My First Cat When I Was Very Young

My Grandfather found a young gray-and-white kitten in our field years ago. The minute I saw her, it was love at first sight. She and I formed a deep bond that stayed with me. She would follow me all over the farm, and she was an excellent companion. If I swung on the swing set, she would lie on the ground next to me. We named her Flossie. Flossie remained on our farm, and over the years, she had many kittens, which I became very fond of. She killed many mice on our farm, along with rats that had gotten into an old open corncrib. Flossie would wait with me in our yard for the school bus to pick me up and take me to school. The bus driver was cautious, and none of our cats got hit by the bus, luckily. Flossie and at least 7 of her kittens waited with me for many years. I love cats’ gentle purrs and how they love to be held and petted on their terms.

I Love To Adopt Cats That Need A Forever Home

Many of my cats have been born on our farm. I have adopted many cats over the years. I have adopted from private parties because they could not keep their pet as they were moving, having a baby, going to college, or going to a care facility. I have adopted from a humane society near me that offers friendly, healthy cats at very reasonable prices, since they are all up to date on shots, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. Cats know if you love them, as they are very good at reading people’s emotions and how you talk to and treat them. I adopted several cats that had been hanging out around restaurants. Cats have gentle souls and are part of God’s creatures, great and small.

Cats Snuggling Next To You

There is nothing more relaxing than hearing the gentle purring of a contented cat on your lap or one lying next to you that lulls you to sleep with its relaxing purrs. Sometimes a cat will lie next to you as close as it can, or rest on top of your head or by your feet. Once in a while, one of my cats will get up in the middle of the night and start an exercise routine of running up and down the steps. At least they stop within a short time.

Cats Have A Special Place In My Heart

Cats know how to get your attention, and they are bright and keen creatures. I could not imagine my life without a cat, as I have had several my whole life. I love taking care of them and attending to their needs and wants. I make sure they have plenty of cat toys, beds, heated beds, cat towers, cat food, and veterinary care so they will live a happy and healthy life with me by their side. Cats are family members, too. Cats have gentle souls, comforting meows and purrs, and they calm you with just their presence in your life.
