Nice kitty.
Kindness to animals has its rewards.
Peace, relaxation and lowers blood pressure.
Cruelty has its punishments.
Depression, anger and feelings of low self esteem.
I even treat the neighbors cat with the very expensive flea treatment that lasts for a month, he was covered in scabs and itching to death. His tail was almost totally devoid of hair.
Now, 6 months later, Scruffy, a male Siamese is heavier and his coat is full.
He shows his thanks by letting only me pick him up, he goes limp and purrs like mad, quite a reward for $30 worth of medication I'd say '
