52. You've taken these animals into your life...If you no longer want them,
Please give them to a rescue group that will adopt them out to people who have the patience to accept them and to love them.

Cats are independent, but they don't do particularly well if you simply leave them to their own devices all day, every day. They do desire interaction with you, which is best expressed in play. If you just let them fend for themselves and don't interact with them, they will get bored and start getting into all kinds of trouble.

In many ways, having a four-legged pet is like having an infant -- they cry, they barf, they get sick, they will make messes, they will go where they shouldn't. Accepting this is part of the responsibility of being a pet owner.
