    Default I think I am the only quilter who doesn't have one

    Seems like every forum picture I look at there is a fur baby in the picture. Sad I don't have one. So I thought it would be cool to see everyone's quilting buddy. If you post pictures of your buddy then maybe I can convince DH that I desperately need one.

    This is Maggie Mae, who is now 12, but the best lil gal ever. I love Boston's, they are true people pups, and love kids to pieces! She's always in the sewing room when I'm here. The cat Cissy stays on the back of the couch, she has sleeping down to a fine art, lol!

    And YES you NEED one!

    Join the club....no fur buddies here either.
    Although I have a barn full of big fuzzy critters outside, there is no one to quilt with inside besides music.
    Sonic is learning to sew and quilt. .....

    I moved into an apartment 5.5 years ago after getting my divorce. I really expected to live here a few months, then find a house to buy and move. This is the first time in my life I haven't had a pet. My landlords one unbreakable rule is no pets.

    The apartment I live in is close to perfect. The rent is inexpensive, the utilities are low. I have great neighbors and I don't have to mow, shovel snow or repair anything. But I really think a cat would make my life better.

    I am thinking about looking for a small house over in Fulton where I grew up. I haven't lived there since 1988 and it would be nice to move back and catch up with people. I don't know, I have thought about getting my doctor to write a statement that I needed a service animal, but who would believe a service cat? LOL

    (If all the pieces fit perfectly, people will think it was made by a machine!) LOL

    I love having animals....right now I don't have any though, but I am considering getting another cat. My beloved male cat Buffy ( male ) who was an orange tabby lived to be 15 1/2 yrs old. Our Husky Tiana ( female ) lived to be 13 yrs old. I agree that animals are good for health reasons etc.
    Like i said, I am considering getting another cat, simply due to the fact that cats can and do take care of their own basic needs for the most part....you just need to feed them and love them. You can leave them for awhile, go away for a couple of days and even for an extended amount of time if you have someone check on them although I have never done that ).
    In the past when I have been admitted to the hospital, my DH has been here in the house or my sister has checked on the animals for us, so there's no problems.
    So, if you are thinking of getting a service cat or dog, go for it ! I am sure you will enjoy it !

    Bob, actually, cats can be service animals. They are known to reduce stress, lower BP, and recently they've found their purr (megahurtz) has healing tendencies after surgeries, broken bones, etc. As a matter of fact, the local Nursing Home here in my town, have a standard Poodle and a huge Manx that visit the patients weekly. Give it a try, you never know!

    Wow, I wonder if this means I can claim my catfood bills against medical insurance? Sigh, a girl can dream.

    EXACTLY!! Cats can be service animals - you really should talk to your doctor about it.

    TMP, I just recently got a dog, after being pet-less for about 8 years. You could do like I did, and just go adopt a pet, with the idea of getting it for your DH. Of course, that backfired for me. The dog is attached to me and follows me around like a.....well....a puppy. I thought it would help DH with his depression. Hasn't worked out that way.
