I love and have raised lots of kittys and pups, but cats are just close to my heart. My oldest now, Boots, is 15 and has been diagnosed with kidney disease. I am watching him fail and at this late stage of my life is just so hard. Boots is my best buddy. He is the only friend I had through the pandemic especially, and I just am heartbroken at knowing he doesn’t have much time. We are never more than a few feet apart. He adopted me about 14 years ago when I lived in the country. Instantly claimed me and the property! Saw him chase a dog out of the yard - what a boy. How tender they keep our hearts!

@baa, your dear Boots is a lucky cat to have chosen you! It appears that a good human is good for the health pet, too! (paraphrase the title of this discussion)
During Covid our adult son was house bound by Covid and recovery from critical injury. His cat was, and still Is a great companion. The cat needed food and son was dependent on a wheelchair. He is not in a wheelchair now, but the cat had learned that whenever he heard the refrigerator door open, it meant food. He blocked the wheels until he got a treat 🙀.
