Dear PTC,

Animals provide a lot of love and physical tenderness to their human companions. Sleeping with you cat can be reassuring and beneficial to both of you.

Still, you need human beings in your life, people you can shake hands with, pat on the back, jostle in play, dance with, rub shoulders with while working together on a project.

You can live alone and still have people in your life, people with whom to shae a touch and even a hug.
