Leave a Comment #3: I too love animals. Currently I have an adopted cat named Esme. Her rescuers found on the side of the road with part of her tail missing. She was a tiny kitten, but has grown into an adolescent by now. She’s extremely affectionate and needs her human time every day. I think it might be so strong because she didn’t have a mother or siblings when she was that young. Have a lovely evening!
