		<description>my cats will meow their heads off... and then when I wake up they all look at me expectantly. When I close the door, they meow again. When I walk to the kitchen (tripping over them all the time), their food plates are still full but apparently they are just trying to help me wake up in time for work even though it&#039;s sunday and I have no work.

I can understand the simple joy you get from your pets. Sometimes I look at my Linus just sitting there next to me contently. She&#039;ll look up at me and &quot;merrr?&quot; a question and give me what I think is a glimmer of questioning smile.. and I am content.</description>

		<description>Your post made me think of my happy bouncy furball back home, delighting my mum during her stay-at-home recuperative period whilst undergoing chemotherapy, his incessant leaps of joy when I walk in through the door utterly weary from a day&#039;s work, his cheerful bark greeting me when I awake from sleep, his quiet comforting presence when I work through the night and turn round for some (furry) company, his mischevious gaze making my family laugh whenever we sit down for dinner...

The moments are just too many to list.</description>

		<description>Yes, we laboured over a lot of information before we took Mac in on a trial week. We also considered both animals&#039; individual temperament, breed notwithstanding, and we&#039;re happy that they&#039;re happy with each other. Mac and Jake would thank you for your concern, but all Jake knows is to bite your ankle (gently) while Mac humps your leg (gently too).</description>

		<description>Oh dear, have you done enough background research on assimilating two different animals before you adopted that dog? I can imagine how traumatised your resident cat must have been all this while with the introduction of a new member. I mean, it&#039;s not as if they were bred as a pair since young. And &#039;battle scars&#039;? I hope you&#039;re not treating them like samples in some experimental animal fight cage laboratory!</description>
