“He’s just not himself”. This is what I’ve found myself repeating when referring to Itchy during the course of the last few months.
I know he’s getting older, I don’t expect him to last forever, but when he’s down, I’m down. Those of you who share your emotional and physical lives with pets will understand, it’s impossible to separate out feelings – if our animal companions are unhappy, poorly or out of sorts, we are too.4
