My parents don't have any house pets. We had a dog and a cat when I was younger, but they both went to the bridge. It was very painful for my mom, and they want to travel, so no housepets.
They still have my horse, kept near some woodland property near their house. The barn has attracted several cats over the years. The first was a big white cat that they found dead one day. They suspect poison. The second was a little tiger cat who got feline leukemia, they took her into the house until she also died.
Last winter, a cat started coming around. My mom wasn't going to feed him, but he was too cute and she loves animals. But they were just going to feed him, until he came limping into the barn with a big cut on his hind leg. He went to the vet. Isn't it funny how they creep into our lives?
Here's Barney:
He is so friendly, we walked into the woods and he ran along with us like a dog, occasionally looking at us as if to say, isn't this fun? He loves to be petted and curls in and out of your legs when you keep still, and when you walk.
