    "We adopted this senior last year at 13 & 1/2. He's an insulin dependent diabetic. My husband has refractory epilepsy and has seizures in clusters. Noonie (the cat), will lay on him after seizures right where he can feel him breathing every day until the seizures stop."

    "This is Bella, she has cancer. You can see on her face where they took off the mass that was eating her skull. She doesn't act like she's sick, she follows the dog and my husband on their nightly walk. She acts like she always has, which is rather spicy."

    Cat

    "This is Malachi, age 17.5. He is an extremely affectionate cat and he absolutely thrives on his interactions with humans. Whenever someone acknowledges him and talks to him sweetly he gets super excited and will start stomping his little feet, one front paw up, one down. One up, one down. He just is beyond thrilled to be treated with love. He loves humans so much. He is an amazing boy. He is loved by all. We can't keep him off of our guests' laps when they come over. We can guarantee that the moment someone sits down and Mali spots them he is immediately going to be on their lap. Even if he is meeting them for only the very first time he considers our guests to be his friends too."
