Man I agree with this so much, almost to a fault. When my dogs were alive, I knew that every minute I wasn’t there with them was disappointing for them. It created insane feelings of guilt in me whenever I left.

It’s healthier with my cat, since cats decide when they want something on their terms. When my cat wants love, he comes to me and I give it to him. But the idea that I’m improving the life of an innocent life form is so rewarding.
