    I have three right now. Theyre very sweet little guys with intense personality. It should be a crime how little their life span is.

      it sucks that animals that can be SO affectionate (they pee on you to claim you as theirs lol) only live for 2-3 years, 4 if you’re really really really lucky. It sucks :/

        I assume you didn’t get new ones because there is no replacement for the band of 7 that you initially had?

        I had that with my cat. He lived for 21 years, we got him when I was in kindergarten. I could not imagine getting a new cat. I miss him, but I don’t miss having a cat, I miss this cat. I’m not sure if it is better or worse the longer the lifespan is, I imagine losing a beloved pet after 3 years is brutal.
