How did they sleep at night and look at themselves in the mirror, knowing they tortured an innocent animal, who was unable to defend itself? =(<br /><br />I have 2 cats myself and they are my everything, I love them to bits and pieces. One of them (Pepper) is a very nice cat. He's so gentle, never aggressive to us, our family members, or his little brother-cat. The kitten (10 month old Tiger) is very affectionate. Always follows me around the house, sleeps in my lap, meows for attention when he is being ignored. I love his body warmth on a cold day.<br /><br />I've grown up around animals, we had rabbits, turtles and 2 other cats as children, I can't imagine a life without pets. <br /><br />I absolutely ADORE dogs and would love to have one, but can't due to religious reasons. =( I think they are beautiful creatures. So loyal, friendly, and wonderful companions.

I'm running around the house calling her trying to figure out where she could have gone to, and, when she finally pokes her head out, she has this look, "What? I was right here.

One of the best things about cats is we can go away for a few days without having to worry about boarding them. Put out extra food, water, and litter box, and they're good to go.

Doesn't the fact that I don't want to use to keep myself young count for anything?<br />And my dog waits for me when I just get up to go to the bathroom, but I already posted about that.<br /><br />G_G: It was sad. That cat had a very tragic life.<br /><br />PT: I don't disagree with you.<br /><br />M.J.: That doesn't surprise me. There aren't any other cats around here that like my dog. He's just a... different sort of cat.<br /><br />JKIR,F: Well, I'm not entirely sure about that. This cat has a lot of personality. I think they are just different personality types.<br /><br />Michael: This one is certainly a great pet, but I don't know if I would say that about all cats.<br /><br />Rusty: They don't! And I really don't get it, because it's not like cats are more cute than dogs. They are more insane, though, so, maybe, that's what it is. Like being fascinated with Lohan.<br /><br />Eve: The other day, the cat was laying next to me on the couch, and the dog hopped up on me. The cat looked at the dog, looked at me, looked at the dog and, then, very deliberately placed one paw on my leg. It was definitely a statement of possession. The dog didn't notice. heh<br /><br />jaybird: I know! I never thought I would own a cat! I wouldn't say Jack is the best pet I've ever had, but he's certainly up there, which is surprising considering the number of dogs I've had.<br /><br />randi lee: Me, too!

I have to admit, seeing that little puppy, always makes me smile and a little less likely to hate being there. <br /><br />I now own a cat, after years upon years of owning dogs. Never in a million years would I have predicted how much I'd love a cat. But she is awe-some!

I think they're great in their own ways..I don't really think one is better than the other, they're just different. I still have the cat I adopted from the SPCA in 2001 when she was 7. She has such a cool personality and back when we had her and two large dogs, she was the clear boss! Everytime I have people over, she'll pick someone to sit right next to (she always sits high, like on the back of the couch) and just stare at them. If they ignore her, she'll put a paw gently on their cheek and meow softly....she's definatley a weirdo!E. M.
