My 3 cats and all the stray kittens I catch and foster have really helped my wife with her issues.
48I hope she prepares herself for it to die someday. I'd recommend getting a kitten as soon as it starts to show signs of aging or deteriorating health.
48Cat. Pet the cat.
38Can relate. I became insomniac a few years ago. Couldn't sleep until 4 or 5 in the morning sometimes, trying to stay afloat in my life on three or four hours of bad sleep a day. After watching a stray cat for several days or weeks, we finally adopted it. He kept yelling at me to feed him every morning, the little bastard. It helped me start the day because I couldn't let him go hungry because he was always looking out for me. I love the way cats make themselves at home. They may look like lazy little moochers, but they are disciplined and take care of themselves all the time, their lives have structure. You can learn a lot from the way they spend their time.

12I didn't know anything about Aesop Rock beforehand and for a long time thought he was talking about Kirby from the games.
Did explain the question about why they are the leaf.

i can't give my pet a hug, they would get squished and probably not like it
8Are you the proud owner of a jumping spider?
8One does not "own" jumping spiders. One only gets graced by their presence (and tricks, they are smart little f'ers).

That cat probably came from an abusive kitty mill that profited from the sale.
-8Maybe. But this time, the cat mill saved a life, so I can forgive this.
20The local pet store has a placement programme with the SPCA. The customer pays the adoption and like 10% goes to the store for the space and paperwork. Animals rotate back soon to prevent stress. I can't see a better way to do a better partnership.
