I saw this article and it really, really speaks to me:
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/16-signs-your-cat-is-the-love-of-your-life
I think of my cat (in a different way than I would a human, of course, but still just as strongly) as the love of my life. Not only that, he makes me laugh, he's always there for me, we hang out together lots and I'm pretty sure I've never known anyone as sweet as he is.
It may sound absolutely kooky to non-pet people, but I truly believe a pet can be the love of your life.
