I also believe that we shouldn't take care of pets if we don't have proper housing and place for them. When I was living alone, I didn't have any pets because not only I didn't have the space, I constantly move around. Only at home now, I am able to have cat that eventually grow to become this big of a family.
Having cats around us definitely enliven the vibe. I know they can be aloof at times but there were moments when they're being affectionate and constantly reminds us that they too are part of the family.
We have a funny story actually. The eldest cat in the house, Cici is always present in our family pictures. It's as if she doesn't want to be left out whenever my big family takes pictures. At first we thought it was just coincidence but each time we take a big family picture, she's always showing up on the front 😂
Remember, cats are kings... and masters of the house... that's what they've taught me over the years. As for the photos, there's a lot to say about cats, including that they are the link between worlds. I believe that things have happened to me because of them; they take care of me. If she's in the photos, she's part of the family and feels like she is.
