Sounds daft but I look at my 3 cats and think....."what a life"....... how I'd like to be them! They always seem to be in total contentment, sleeping on the sofa, pampered on someones lap........ not a care in the world. There's the odd problem with a flea now and then but thats just a minor irritation soon sorted! Having your nuts cut off could be bothersome but if all the other locals are the same, don't suppose you notice!!
