Loneliness can't be addressed easily via social networks as you are not really authentic self when you are on them. When you are on Facebook, you want to project a positive image of yourself so you can get more Likes as a 'way to go'. On LinkedIn it is professional you and you have to be careful how you brand yourself there to be viewed by potential employers or customers. Twitter is not expansive enough to form meaningful connections though it can be done over time with a small group of people. The best way is still connecting in person seeing the person's face and body language. 'Find better people' is the advice to live by.

I find Twitter to be a goldmine to find unique voices if you take the time and look for them. A lot of people who shy away from FB (too personal) and LinkedIn (too professional) feel at home on Twitter. I connected with like-minded people on Twitter by searching and commenting on things of common interest and that started great virtual relationships. Being mindful on Twitter does pay off.

Thank you for your kind words. The paw print is intended to be either a cat or a dog paw print. You also have an option of selecting a personalized cat tag that can go on the urn's lid instead of the standard paw print.
