I've got one cat left, and when she's gone, I'm done being a pet owner.

I know. I have a dog which I got from a rescue centre (he had been a stray) who is 10 years old and he has been with me more or less 24/7 for most of his life. I can't even begin to think about him not being here.

I usually have cats but lost my last one when he was 17 years old. I managed to deal with that ok as I just thought to myself what a long and happy life he had. When they die prematurely of illness though ................................

I've moved on to tropical fish now.
