A guinea pig eating my food? This is wrong on sooo many levels.

Simba and Chester

"Simba is a rare tri-colored male, very big and mellow. Our other cats are a little intimidated by his size, but he is a teddy bear. Here is Simba with our guinea pig, Chester, before Chester went to Heaven. (He died from natural causes, not from cat-fear).

We are committed to keeping our pets for better or for worse. I think it is good to teach children that pets are living things, and not to be discarded of like a toy. They fill a part of our lives that no body else can fill."

This is a very altruistic kitty. She is Beautiful!!! and it's nice that she likes company and is a good hostess.

Thank you for your stand on teaching kids about pets being living beings.

We taught our two kids and our 6 grandkids this, witht he help of our wonderful polydactyl (many-toed) cat, Footie. He would present himself each time the kids came over, and we would make sure little fingers did not poke his eyes. He withstood all the petting and loving that kids can give. Every grandchild respects animals and understands that, as living beings, they deserve to be treated very well.

So nice to see others who embrace our philosophy of pet respect.
