Yea, cats are different than dogs. Not better or worse, just different.

Have you received your first purr yet? Did it feel like you'd won at life?

I hate to break it to you, but that's not a bird. Though as a fellow dog person, I can understand the mistake.

Thank you for rescuing. Rescues are every bit as loving, and definitely deserving of a loving home.

My girl was in the shelter for like a year, because she was an old girl. I adopted her when she was 11 and now she's 15.
