The American Pet Products Association (APPA) estimates that 42.9 million households in the United States have cats. No matter where you are in life when you first meet your beloved feline—cats live an average of 15 years—you will undoubtedly grow together.
For instance, a Japanese grandmother named Misao said goodbye to her beloved rescue dog, Fukumaru, in recent news. She spent a lot of time with her cat, even as an old woman, and learned a lot about the simple joys of life. Their memories have been expertly captured and figuratively immortalized in books and websites all over the Internet thanks to Misao’s photographer granddaughter Miyoko Ihara.
Even though cats are independent, they are always there for us.
It’s crucial that we be there for them in the same way during our happy and sad times because they will be there for us through both.
