We have always adopted cats that had been fixed to help cut down on the large population of unwanted animals.  After our first two cats had passed away, we waited a month before adopting again.  Had gotten rid of most of the old toys because the memories we had of playing with our cats and the toys hurt too much.

It is an impoverished soul who seeks to deprive others of their happiness. It’s bad enough that any soul would want to diminish others. The end result should bring them pleasure, but it rarely does.

The soul’s poverty can be so deep that it cannot be filled, at least not from outside sources. They take from others but with no positive returns, the result is a net negative.
