Do you think a dog or cat enjoys having a 4-legged companion or would be fine without one?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes and yes. I think they like to have furry friends, but I also think most animals would be fine alone. I got my first cat intending to have only one, but then a few months later my sister gave me another one. I didn’t do it on purpose, but now I think I’d rather have two. They seem happier when there’s someone else hanging out on the floor with them.
