“Can people change?” They absolutely can! However, do people want to change? That is the real question that we should be asking ourselves and others.

Cats don’t care if there is already food in the bowl, if the bottom of the bowl is showing just a little bit then I must put more food in. The food must come from the bag because I’ve tried shaking the bowl t
