I've always had cats in the past because I liked their company. When Hubby used to travel a lot I got fed up of coming home to an empty house, but a cat made it seem more homely.
I thought I would hate living on my own without a cat, but actually I'm quite enjoying it. Most of the time. The local retired men seem to be adopting me. In this weather, everytime I set foot outside the door I am bombarded with men offering to help scrap the car or the drive
