I have lived on a horse farm for a long time so cats have a way of multiplying and before you know it you can easily become overrun with furry felines.

The irony was that the ones that I lost first were my favorites and most of these losses were not due to attrition but due to getting killed on the road. I never was able to figure out why getting them fixed made them more prone, it...

"> When we think of angels, we might hark back to the mighty beings from the Bible... those grand messengers of God who came not only to communicate, but also to do His will, some even with mighty swords, or as Guardians. Some of you may bring to mind the Victorian notion of angels; those cute chubby little child cherubs who are so playful and endearing. Many people also believe that we all have guardian angels, to watch over and care for us.
