If you have never had pets I suspect that it is difficult to understand the obsession of others.
As a child and as an adult I have always had cats and in my home they rule the roost. They can be messy, noisy, can destroy the leather sofa in a matter of days yet I would not want to be without them.
They are company and as strange as it may sound they are very tuned in to how you are feeling. The most unsociable cat with not leave your side when you are ill and will give you a much needed cuddle when you are blue.
They fill the house with laughter when they inevitably fall in the bath, as my kitten did the other day while I was having a shower, or when they loose purchase and slide across the tiled floor while chasing a ball.
You get a warm fuzzy feeling when you see them stretched out living a life to be envied by humans. To some dogs are a mans best friend, to other it may be a cat, to a child a goldfish won at the carnival. No matter what animal or at what stage in your life and animal is a friend and a part of the family.
I would agree that a visit to QAWS may help. You will see that people give time, energy and money to help support animals that have been abandoned by us, humans. If you cannot commit to look after one animal lomg term perhaps you can find another way to help!
