I have several health issues and am alone. Under medical care but now have to face a hip replacement. Couple this with heart problems, the future scars me. At 83, things are worrisome.
Who will know what happens to me and can take the kitty if I don't make it?
Who will know?
Yes, I miss the kitties I have had thru the years and keep the memories strong.
