I love all of these quotes Kamira. One thing I know for sure is that my cat taught me to be a better human. I honestly think that pets are truly angels with fur. They exemplify the best traits of true unconditional love – patience, non-judgemental and loyal always.

Kamira,
I enjoyed each quote! I believe pets bring out the best in people.
My ex- husband would say… the more people I meet the better I like our dogs. I think there is some truth in that.
As always enjoyed your blog☺️
