I'm very tempted @Cleoriff! I want all of them. Look at all those little ones... Cat Cat Cat

Sadly, my flat is not big enough for so many cats. Maybe one day! 

 

Not just bengals though - I want all different types of cats. Crazy

I've only once ever had more than 1 cat at any one time

Siamese ... the little lilac point Cleo ... & ... Tigger a seal point

 

Since being on my own I prefer a male cat ... why? ... it's said a male cat will go to a female human being ... & ... a female cat will go to a male human being

I luv my cat Marty heaps ... & ... it's very very therapeutic for me to have him around my home ... & ... I'd like to think I look after him the best I'm able to 

 

What do you think of 'helper' animals in hospitals? ... @Cleoriff , as you were a career nurse rising to Nurse Management?

I know what I think ... = ... yes, but then I think of the cleanliness required to high standards in hospitals ... & ... the number of staff needed to do this

Jane I firmly believe in 'helper' dogs and cats in hospital in selected areas appropriately designed for animals

I actually started it in our care of the elderly unit. Initially as a Pat Dog service.... then it developed to patients having their own animals brought in. They were allowed to visit once a week and only if the patient was infection free...

That's a great idea. Just from my own point of view a nice golden labrador, golden retriever or my personal favourites English Springer Spaniels or short haired Alsations would be absolutely wonderful to engage with. The only regular visitors I get are my son and a friend who both come at weekends so a companion dog would be brilliant.

Or maybe a husky to pull my wheelchair  heart_eyes
