BW to me anyway

Went out with the family for dinner tonight. My fortune cookie said "To
ease stress, get a cat". Considering I have three and my son, just down the
street has 10 at the moment, I nearly rolled on the floor when they read
that to me.

The funniest fortune-cookie message I have gotten recently was one that
said, "You may be hungry later. Why not order some carry-out?".

For me, it was "Fortune not found"

Good one. I guess they bought their fortune cookies from a more modern
company with a sense of humor.

Ooh! That's sneaky! ;-)

The last one I got said, "Accept the next proposition you receive." I'm
still waiting for that proposition. G

I was just in a grocery store that had a newsletter for customers, and
the front page had an article entitled, "What's Good For Your Heart?"
The accompanying picture (a drawing) showed a person holding a kitty.

I guess my heart must be in good shape!

Oh, there have been any number of recent scientific studies "proving"
that having a pet is good for your health! Petting a cat or dog lowers
your blood pressure. Elderly people who live alone recover much more
quickly from illnesses (especially those that require hospitalization)
if they have a dependent furry roommate to care for... there are any
number of other health benefits. There was a time when moving to a
"retirement residence" meant giving up one's companion animals, but that
is less and less the case. There may be a weight restriction, and they
seldom allow more than two cats, but so long as the person is able to
care for the animal (or can pay someone else to do so), every place I
looked into, both here and in California, allows residents to have pets.
