Q: If you could keep one pet with you for your entire lifetime, what would it be?

A: My cat, which was named Okay. I had her for 18 years and she was my best friend in the whole wide world. She actually belonged to my mother and when my mother passed away, I took her on. She’s seen me through a lot of things.
