We created a website for our cats because cats are family<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made family decisions based on what is best for our cats, just as we make decisions based on what is best for our children.\u00a0Susan and I moved into our second apartment to take in Fido from the Wyatt household; he was not getting along with the other pets.<\/p>\n

Our daughters will grow up with cats who journeyed from Pennsylvania to Texas with us. The girls understand that when you adopt a pet, that pet becomes family and a shared responsibility.<\/p>\n

We have fostered many kittens (and a few adult cats). Each of those was important, too. People neglect and sometimes abandon pets. Humans aren’t always humane.<\/p>\n

Fido’s Legacy<\/h2>\n

Even though he\u2019s no longer with us, Fido will always be the cat who changed our lives. Without him, we wouldn\u2019t have realized how important it was to share our lives with (sometimes) lovable fur-balls.<\/p>\n

They say cats own humans, and we\u2019re inclined to agree.<\/p>\n

We definitely cater to their desires, even when they beg for food or treats at 2 a.m. Someone told us, \u201cIgnore the begging and they\u2019ll stop after a few nights.\u201d You try ignoring cats banging on doors and crying three or four consecutive nights. Eventually, you cave! That cats knew we\u2019d cave, too.<\/p>\n

At least cats don\u2019t need to be walked. Watching people walk dogs in sub-zero temperatures, you realize cats are wonderful.<\/p>\n
