I have come to realize the huge benefits of having pets. In the spring of 2013, two cats came into my life. For most of my adult life, I concentrated on my studies and then on my work. What a prosaic life I led for so many years! Without knowing it, I needed cats very much. When I become very old and physically not strong anymore, a time may come when I cannot even play with cats anymore. Therefore, perhaps, God sent me these cats before it is too late. Goblin (who has a round face) prefers to be alone and seems to enjoy quiet time without getting tired of the solitude. PJ (who has an inverted triangle face) is a people-oriented cat, and more affectionate than Goblin. These two cats-beautiful and friendly-certainly provide me with energy to keep going and inspiration for writing poetry as well.
