Like most big choices we make in our lives, there are times we wonder whether we should have made those choices. (or for that matter, we wonder about the choices we didn’t make) This past year has been tough for me, money-wise. Would I have had more money if I didn’t have these cats? No money spent on cat food, litter and vet bills? Sure. But I wouldn’t have the companionship these animals have given me during these dark, down times.

I believe we’ll always question choices, specifically big ones, in our lives that looking back on we’ll question. But I’ll never question the joy these animals have given me these past five years.
