i have never owned a pet before

Getting a (2) cats was the best thing I've ever done. Growing up my mom refused to have pets (but got one after we moved out -_-), so it was something I had always longed for.
I can tell you from personal experience that getting a pet cured me from the curse of seeking companionship in all the wrong places. If you ever feel like you're in this position, do consider getting a pet.

But beware, it's a decade long commitment, and travelling won't be as easy as before.

But a commitment that's certainly well worth It.

Cats are my favourite pet. I had one over a decade ago, and we formed a very close bond - almost a human-like relationship.

I have 2 cats - both a year old now- and it was the best decicision i've ever made!
