‘tis a shame that not all humankind appreciates the joy pets bring to our lives, & many do not even consider the respect and debt we owe them. Pets lengthen & greatly enhance our lives. Although pets (and animals) in general enrich our own existence, this page is solely dedicated to felines.
I share living quarters with two of the felines who grace this page -- they are loved but not smothered, allowed but not overly indulged. And they are content. It is my hope that sharing a bit of this with any visitor to these pages will enhance the viewer’s knowledge and appreciation of felines in general, their regal place in this world, & the companionship, well-roundedness, & pleasure we derive in surrendering our hearts to our four-legged family members. Eventually, more photos will join those below, & perhaps some narratives as well.
