Drives me nuts. There's room in this world for it all.

I like this, and I'm going to use it the next time someone says something like that to me.
We are all G-d's creatures (ok I know that not everyone believes in Gd, but indulge me for a moment :o)). And unlike so many people, G-d cares about how we treat animals.
Loving and caring for animals can be very healing and can enable us to love people at times when they *aren't* so easily loved. At least that has been my experience.

This is wonderful.
We recently lost Simone, a cat who has been part of my life for almost 21
years. We are down to one cat (16 years old) after years of having three. These
cats have been part of my life longer than my kid, and have always been there
for him!
