We have a Havanese whose 16th birthday is June 1.  

He will be our last pet.  😢  

When I first saw the topic, I thought it was a check to see how many of us were still willing to deal with the wonky forums.

Do the cats play with the round toys or just rest on them lol.

we do take care of a stray or two, until we trap and turn over to rescue for adoption. Then we have several crows that have been coming everyday for years for eggs, a couple pet squirrels, a possum we feed in off season,  blue jay and finches. That alone is a lot of work and cost to feed.

Awww bless their little heads.  I am older and don't drive anymore (so not able to get to vet in an emergency/so not fair to any pets) so just the human head type here. Since I was 18 and moved out from parents I've had up to five furry friends at any given time. Mostly cats.  I miss all of them very much and wish I could adopt more, but then remind myself of how grateful I am for the joy they brought to my life.

@PhilaLady1   You must really love animals to think ahead of their future and the care.  We have one cat now, and 13 pond fish.  When our dog died a while back, we decided nor to get another one. We were 70.  The end years was so hard for our dog, as she was a retriever.  The aiding her to go to rest room, to walk.  She could no longer go upstairs , we had to make,adjustments. It was hard on her, but harder on us I think. She was 17 when she passed .  I thought, could I do this in another 17 years?  . We had a few cats  then, now one. I don't want to have to leave a dog or cat with another person when we are gone. Hard on the animal. Jmho

Hi @shoekitty

You are very kind. I must say that I want a kitty again, but I can't be selfish about it so it is definitely not going to happen.  Have a nice evening!
