Ab Fab Friday's - What do your pets mean to you? 2nd March @8pm (AEDST)

Message contains an image

Join us for this week's Ab Fab Friday's - Friday 2nd March @8pm (AEDST)!!!

 

Topic for this week: What do your pets mean to you?

 

This coming weekend sees the end of this years Sydney Chinese New Year Festival, and with 2018 being Year of the Dog, I thought it might be fun to follow the animal theme and talk about our pets and what they mean to us. 

 

Whether they're furry, hairy, scaly, feathered, do they add quality to your life? Do they pick you up if you're feeling down? Do they bring the family together? 

 

Come along for an hour and share in the conversation!

Hi Taokat and All,

 

My cat means the world to me. He has been with us for 12 years....so gorgeous.

 

He went missing for 44 days once when we lived in the county and turned up on our neighbours door step meowing and starving one night. Not a scratch on him! Where he was, we don't know but were so grateful to get him back.

 

He lives with my son and I in our unit now....is very spoilt and SO UNCONDITIONAL.

Hey @Sister, it's great to have you here!

 

We love cats too. We have 2 and they are such a part of our family. They're therapeutic to have as well, and have provided my daughter something safe to love.

You must've been so worried when he disappeared! I'm so, so glad he came back safe an sound. That would've been a happy day Smiley Happy

They do. We live in a unit, so they live indoors. 

 

Is your boy indoors or outdoors @Sister?

Do you find your cat is a help for your son?

Indoors....he goes to my mums house from time to time so manages to have more space in a yard. However, being 12 yrs, he is not as active as he used to be.

 

Where do your cats sleep?
