Eudora Welty's The Lovely Bones

Cats are one of the most commonly abandoned animals. People often get aggravated, because of the fact they do not listen, and turn them into outdoor animals. After this they tend to wander off and do their own thing. They are left outside to fend for themselves. There are many street cats out there today because people got these animals and then realize, “they stink” or “they don’t listen” and just decide to turn them purely into an outdoor animal. These two facts are true, if you don’t take care of them. Every animal needs to be taken care of right or yes, it will start to smell bad and/or get mean. If a cat gets abandoned and found, for the most part, they get sent to a pound. There are a very large amount of stray and abandoned cats out there. When they are put into a pound most of the time they are put down. No one wants to buy an old

Cats are good companions to the elderly, especially for those living in long term care

Most importantly, this book is a great tool for parents and family members to have on hand after the death of a pet to help explain what has happened, especially in the case of euthanasia. This book would not be a good story-time book for children who have healthy pets or who have not experienced the death of a pet, as it could scare them about the future of their pets. Overall, this book would be effective bibliotherapy for parents and family members, as well as a good option for librarians to recommend to families who have recently experienced the loss of their

Its the special attachment to pets that attracts us to wanting to spend more. Also to try to keep them alive as much as we can because in our own selfish needs , we want them alive to enjoy more simpke moments to guve us

I am a self-proclaimed “cat person.” I can’t imagine my two cats being homeless. Nonetheless, have them fend for themselves. Will they be able to survive? How would they fend for themselves? Randy’s stories of Sunshine, Noel, Sota and Penn, to name a few, has profoundly touched me. The way Randy gained the pack’s trust and the patience it took Randy to establish a bond between them is admirable. The bond between Sunshine and Randy took patience, determination and trust. His keen understanding of a dog’s temperament has solidifies these stories for me. Also, Sunshine’s story prompted me to think about a feral cat I had befriended as a teenager. I named her “Mewsette.” In homage to an animated character Judy Garland portrayed in “Gay Pur-ee.”

Cats are more than just furry friends, if you let them into your heart they become family. I have 19 years of owning plenty of cats, and I currently have four. I love my cats, they honestly are my family. I also have two dogs and they really do need more attention than cats, a lot more. We are all college students, and some of us desire a companion without a ton of commitment. That is where adopting a cat comes into play. Cats even have health benefits to them, they are scientifically proven to reduce stress and sadness, they do not need a ton of attention (although some required and the more the better), and if you are allergic there are even hypoallergenic breeds of cats for you.

loves animals. We didn’t know the first thing about taking care of a kitten so, my mom and I went to the

My second pet lost happened two weeks ago now, she was a Siamese cat. She was always more of my sister cat as she passed away in her arms. My sister would never let her have bad care she took her to Boston from Virginia for these past two years. She was eighteen and died naturally. I am still trying to comprehend the news of this event as it is hard to accept that a loved one is gone even if the loved one is 'just a cat'. With photography I will show others that have this emotional attachment to their pets and cannot let them leave their side. I will prove that animals are more than 'just animals' and that they are family members and deserve care.

A few months ago, my family was without a pet. Now, we have a sweet little puppy named Nellie. The day we got our dog was definitely a memorable one! It was an early morning at the Family Life No Kill Dog Shelter. Since the adoption process was first come first serve, we got there before the shelter opened and signed a little sheet on the outside of the door. On the sheet we were instructed to write our name and the dog we would like to meet and maybe adopt. Lots of people were outside, waiting in anticipation to meet the dogs. After the shelter opened, it was probably another hours wait until we could meet Nellie. Finally, our name was called. We followed an employee into a small room and told her we’re here to meet Nellie. The employee

I was returned to CHHS, because my owner and his significant other where having personal issues, and couldn’t keep me or the other cat in the home. In my previous home I was an indoor cat, and since that’s all I’ve ever known, I would need to be one in my next home as well. Plus, a beautiful gal like myself deserves all of the luxuries that being an indoor cat entails. I like I mentioned before I lived with another cat what was around the same age as me, and was very friendly and even at times playful with him. Plus, I would even let him groom/clean me when he wanted to. So if you are wanting to add a beautiful, spunky, affectionate gal to your life, then please fill out the paperwork and take me home with you

I grew up in a household that sometimes had more animals than people. My mom is a firm believer in rescuing stray cats and senior dogs that people overlook. Through out my short 18 years I have had four dogs, seven cats, one hamster and multiple hermit crabs and fish, each teaching me a new lesson along the way. Although I have learned patience and responsibility from all of my pets, it was Edwin, our fourteen year old Bichon, who taught me something a bit deeper.

My own cat, Avie, was quickly accepted into the home by the other cats, and because of the positivity he received he went from a depressed, shy cat who barely ate or drank, to a happy, playful, and cuddly friend. Soon, I felt my own depression fade, surrounded by happy, affectionate cats, and a surely supportive new-found family. I felt like my life could be no better. I spent years of my life here, and in those years I formed a bond to the other cats

Imagine yourself coming home to a cute, fluffy, brown cat just purring and rubbing on your feet or even just playing with your toes after a long and tiring day at work. After a few minutes, you now feel relaxed and calm. Everyone knows that a man 's best friend is a dog, but what about a cat? Having a cat is just as important as a dog. At a young age, I had many pets including cats, and through my experience, I have learned a lot about them. I believe that cats are better pets than dogs and should be appreciated.

When I was thirteen years old, my family brought our second dog home to live with us. She is a Miniature Schnauzer and her name is Lucy. She was born and raised in Morristown, Tennessee by a woman named Mrs. Newport. Her previous cage was located outdoors and because of the various weather conditions she was subjected to, she had very poor health. Her black ears were severely infected, cracked and swollen. Her only source of nutrition was the one piece of white bread she received daily. In addition to taking care of herself, she also had a new puppy to watch over.

We all looked forward to seeing our cat again, but at the same time, dread gnawed at our stomachs as we waited for the day we had to say goodbye.
