I have owned three dogs and one cat. I grew up around cats and dogs throughout my entire life. My fiance and I currently own one pet. We have a calm and friendly three year old cat named Mitch. He is fed twice a day and loves to go outside in the late afternoon. Mitch does his own thing (like any cat) and he loves taking naps with people and animals that he is comfortable with. He also used to live with a dog who he got along with very well. I have all basic pet owning skills I think that are necessary to give my pets a happy and healthy life. We hope to get a dog one day but for now we are happy babysitting!
