I love my cat

Tomas is one of the best things to have ever come into my life.  Tomas is our cat.  He's about 7 years old now.  He showed up in our neighborhood and hung around until he finally convinced us that he was meant to live with us.  We even thought that we'd found a home for him a couple of times but somehow they didn't end up working out.  Now I'm convinced that he was meant for us.  He has become a part of our family.  Actually since it is just me and my husband, I often say that he made us a family.  

I didn't have pets growing up and I don't have children, so I didn't understand this type of love until I had Tomas.  When I'd hear others talk about their pets, I think "they're just a dog"  or "it's just a cat.  What's the big deal?"  I was so wrong!  I really didn't know.  I hadn't discovered that part of my heart.  The pure love that I feel for Tomas is the most amazing feeling.  I had no idea that I could ever love a 4-legged, furry critter so much.  He has brought so much joy to my life.  I thank God daily for Tomas.  He's made me a better, more caring person.  Maybe that's why God gave us pets.

May God bless you!
