Sophie's World

Today is a day which deserves celebration by all pet owners. As if we need a day to celebrate it, but welcome anyway to Love Your Pet Day!

Originally known as Love Your Dog Day, we cat owners have made our voices clear for a celebration of all pets. Sophie is my treasure. She is sweet, vocal, and fun to be around. She’s very intelligent, having learned to wait for an alarm to be fed. She has personality. She is a great hunter when the need arises.

She entertains me and sometimes frustrates me. She has a vocabulary of dozens of sounds, each with its own meaning. She is a great cuddler even if she is a bed hog. She has her own set schedule, which heaven forbid, you deviate from. We’re alike in that respect.

Here’s to Sophie, my sweetheart of a cat! I appreciate you this and every day.
