I call my kitty the "four-legged love of my life" because she is. My husband may be my two-legged love, but my kitty is just as important; she is an integral part of our family unit, a best friend, a companion, and a listener. I've cried into her fur so many times, and she sits patiently, lets me cry, and then licks my face. I'm always amazed at how animals will run to the door to greet you when you come home, wagging tails or purring, so happy to see you. And they do that everyday. Yes, animals will always be a part of my life, and as for my kitty, I could not live without her. She is my angel.
