I still dream about MY cat(a calico kitten I got on my 5th birthday) and feel a little sorry for people who don't "get" cats and don't like them. <br /> Cats are loving and hilarious and beautiful and all come in different personalities.<br />I am like you in that I can't stop petting and hugging and burrowing my face into my pet's fur. It's a tactile, emotional thing.<br /><br />That pic of Jasper with the hat cracks me up!Gal Fridayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00643821953484820115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-91746915039355193112010-02-25T14:31:09.655-05:002010-02-25T14:31:09.655-05:00My cats are my babies.

Mine is currently trying to confiscate my laptop by laying across it. Hard to type that way.<br /><br />Cats, for me, satisfy a need to give affection and feel silky beneath my hands at the same time. They're so cuddly, even the more aloof ones. <br /><br />I love dogs too, but dogs just don't offer the same type of companionship -- they require too much attention or they get neurotic.Fragrant Liarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452052210826471034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-78149245776804906862010-02-23T17:12:38.277-05:002010-02-23T17:12:38.277-05:00I have always been a dog person, but now that I ha...I have always been a dog person, but now that I have zero dogs I think I will be a cat person for awhile. I love my two cats but they don't provide the companionship I think a dog does, BUT dogs are way more trouble!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648049238771250699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-48754857019467684932010-02-23T03:35:36.493-05:002010-02-23T03:35:36.493-05:00This was hilariously true.I am exactly like you,I ...This was hilariously true.I am exactly like you,I like dogs,but am much more of a cat person.My reasons for liking cats include the following:<br />1.They can go out and pee/poo by themselves,whereas a dog has to be let out.<br />2.Cats don't demand your every minute of attention,and then subsequently make you feel guilty if you can't give all that attention.<br />3.Cats have the weirdest habits sometimes,which makes for some hilarious viewing.<br />4.Cats always remind me of Brain,from Pinky and the Brain - they always seem to be scheming how they are going to take over the world.<br /><br />Basically,I love cats,and wouldn't feel a bit of shame if I turned into that crazy cat lady every neighborhood seems to have one of.Pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733319139135157714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-82276744641761611382010-02-22T19:47:40.269-05:002010-02-22T19:47:40.269-05:00I agree that it is harder to win a cats affection ...I agree that it is harder to win a cats affection - I can't keep a cat because I am deathly (for real) allergic to them. My next door neighbor has a cat who is my buddy. She gives me a kiss every time I see her and she never kisses anyone. I just love her to pieces.<br /><br />I am going to get a little dog (maybe even this year) sometime soon. A little, non-allergic toy poodle-ish mix. Can't wait.cheatymoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328903955238115971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-58565013745899579062010-02-22T08:40:10.030-05:002010-02-22T08:40:10.030-05:00I agree with you about having to win a cat's a...I agree with you about having to win a cat's affection - it does feel like an accomplishment!!!! I had never thought that I would be a cat person, because I'm a dog person, but I find that I also love having a cat, and when she actually snuggles up with me and sleeps, it's the most restful thing I have ever felt.<br /><br />We have always had large dogs, but when I get old I know I will need something smaller, and I think I'm OK with that. The best part about it will be being able to bring them with me everywhere in that little purse thing. Frankly, I like my dogs better than a lot of people, so being able to bring them with me all the time will make it so I have to deal with creatures I don't like less!Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.com
