This is Elly on Wunderful World this morning.

Bandit is busy chasing his brother, Scamp around the house and chasing leftover bugs from last night. We always seem to have 1 or 2 moths that get into the house from somewhere. Makes for great cat entertainment.

Anyway. I clicked on the adsense ads on this blog, to check and make sure they were something I would want here.

I'd never thought about cat retirement homes before. I clicked on the ad, and went thru it. I enjoyed the site and really really like the idea of somewhere for our pets.

We're closer to 70 than 60 now and have been worrying about our 2 cats and Ittybit, our dog. I really don't ever want to be without a pet companion and was worrying about their outliving us. What to do with them, where would they go.

Lots of pets get euthanized when the owners die. What a wonderful idea to set up a Pet Trust Fund for their care. We love our pets and they are wunderful companions and great source of entertainment for us. They give us unconditional love (ok, so maybe cat's love isn't unconditional, LOL) and help keep us stress free.

Petting and grooming and looking after your pet can prolong your life. So there are health benefits for a senior to keep a pet. Even though we have 5 acres I still walk my dog for an hour every day. Just petting your cat or dog can de-stress you. Research has shown that animals brought to seniors in rest homes is extremely beneficial for them. So there you have it.

Just a human's thoughts about pets on Wunderful World of Bandit. I guess that should really be Bandit's Wunderful World. Might change the name, if I can figure it out.
