Cats are living things too

Momma cat with her kittens So, yesterday a family discussion made me realize that animals are not given same treatment as living beings. So my cousin takes care of stray cats at their home. Some of them have been fallen sick recently. The cat had a broken limb, wound, and maggots. In Mumbai, there is a hospital in Parel for animals. But they could not care for the cat there. There are many private hospitals for animals and pets around. They charge like a bomb for a visit but gets the work done. Certain doctors just charge for not even giving a satisfactory answer to the illness. It is sorry to hear that strays are not taken care of. They are also living things and have feelings. They need proper care as well. So, if there are NGOs in Mumbai, they really need to care for cats as well.

Importance of Pets

On the  13 th  of March, 2016  I was able to spend my day with a week old puppy. This puppy was small and away from his mother. I called him “Whitey” because of his white fur. The best thing about a small puppy is that it is the cutest thing that one can lay their eyes on. When I laid eyes on the small puppy, there was an instant smile on my face. He was sleeping peacefully and shivering because of the fan above him, but as soon as I picked him up and brought him close, he curled up in a cocoon. He enjoyed the warmth provided to him. The fact about small puppies is that they sleep for longer hours, eat less and make noises to communicate that they miss their brood back home or their hunger or the cold. They shiver because they are small and always need warmth. If they are with their mother, they cuddle their mother for warmth. The pup was not able to walk correctly, but when once they smell you they can follow you. The only food that they eat is glucos...
