I grew up with dogs and cats and a few other things, but have always felt more in tune with cats. As an adult, I have had two dogs, both of whom came from siblings that couldn't care for them. The first one I wound up resenting because I was working and she kept me so chained to a schedule. I could never, ever do anything after work except run home and let the dog out, for fourteen years. With the current dog, it is easier since I am retired. He is a good buddy, especially when I am working outside. I never felt I could abandon my pets, living with what they were, even my current pee kitty.

Cats are an easier pet than dogs. I don't have time for a dog, my cat's don't "need" me and are OK alone most of the day.

Me too.

Same here. I've always had cats. I like dogs too, but I have to have cats.

Photos?

I miss having a cat, but it wouldn't be fair at all right now.
