These are my not very academic and politically correct reflections and thoughts. They are coming from my heart and I hope they may sit on the hearts. 

Useless Irremovable Button!

Having a cat or not, that is the question!

21/7/2014

 
My kids for a long time wanted to have a pet. Actually they wanted a dog. Although I am of the view that dogs are not impure I did not provide them with this request. I didn't want to make our guests and friends who do consider dogs to be impure, uncomfortable. We started with hamsters and after having a few of them (who died in  a few months) they are now asking for a cat!

I know that this will bring lots of troubles in terms of cleaning the house and possible disturbances that cat may occur. At the same time I cannot forget the enjoyable time that I used to have with my cats when I was a child.

I think the experience of caring and loving an innocent animal in our modern industrial time is a precious one and that kids can learn a lot from this. So I am thinking of possibly getting a cat for them.

There is only one milestone to pass: convincing my wife!
