Shirley..... Of COURSE that's exactly right. YOU - as the "pet mama" earn an additional life per every cat you care for in your home. For each indoor/outdoor cat that ya care for and about ya earn a 1/2 life (I.e., 2 outdoors cats equals one additional life for the "cat-parent." Got that? Oh.... and for each dog a pet-parent has in their home/life, all you get is a life time of "doggie love and devotion." <smile> Can't beat THAT!
