@SaltwaterSoul A friend of my partner has a companion dog and she is absolutely beautiful. Whenever I am around her, she always comes to me and settles on my lap. I love having cuddles with her. You should definitely look into if you are eligible for a companion dog. I have no idea what the criteria is, but it would be worth looking in to.
My cat is so beautiful. Whenever I walk in the room and talk to her, she always gives me a little meow back as if she is answering. It is so cute.

I left a folder on the bed with her that had this butterfly sticker on it, and when I came back into the room later, I found her like this. I thought my sister was playing a trick on me, but apparently not. So somehow, she managed to get the butterfly sticker nicely placed on her paw. She is pretty clever. Recently she has worked out that if the screen door out the back is not shut properly, she can get her paw behind the screen door and pull it open and then she scrambles in before the door shuts on her, and she does the same to let herself out, but obviously in reverse. It saves having a cat door. Lol I do love being around my family again and my cat. Usually when I go inside, I will have a conversation with my mum and if my cat is not on her bed, she will be on the bed in the other room, so I pay her a visit and we have cuddles. I really not being able to do that when I lived in the caravan park. But now, I can basically see her whenever I want. But I would still love a dog, but mum won't have a bar of it, as she is too scared, she will fall over it, as she is at that age, where she has had a few falls now.
