They were all strays and they are very spoiled
I can't understand why some people "dislike" cats. I have a few theories, none of which are very complimentary to the cat haters. I think though that because cats are highly individualistic that many people get confused because they think that cats should all behave in one way. It doesn't work that way. And before anyone gets dirty on me, I am dog owner too. I've also owned horses, fish, birds (I won't have a caged bird ever again though, I used to rescue them and keep them until they were okay to be set free but I have owned bred from captivity birds), mice, rats, guinea pigs...no reptiles except a Blue Tongue Lizard that used to live in my back yard. I also owned a teenage human once. Man was he difficult to train

I have eight and all have different personalities. Some are very independent and wants attention occasionally. Some live for attention. and some cannot get enough
They all welcome me when I get home from work at night, and all respond when called
They are all wonderful pets and somewhat well behaved
I've only got the one at the moment. The max I had at one time was three and all very different. I do enjoy the differences though, I've never had a cat that could be considered a cipher or a clone, they've all had very distinct personalities. Some have been a bit aloof, some have been very cuddly and everything in between. But they were all inviduals.
I had one cat that was very sick and I had to take her to the vet due to her cancer. The night before I took her I slept all night with her. She reached out and put her paw on my arm and we stayed like that all night. I swear she knew what had to be done and was telling me it was okay with her. But then I have been accused of being anthropomorphic - not that I give a shit about that particular accusation.

Nobody owns a cat. The cat owns you.
My husband and I are just happy that the cat allows us to stay around.
I have a beutiful little kitty. She's not feeling all that well right now tho, just got spayed and declawed two days ago.
This is my partner. He was rescued out of a cold, wet box that had collapsed on him and his sister, and she had succumbed to hypothermia. He was given to a "cat person" in town that I had told I wanted a cat, but an orange tiger male. Guess what... that little guy was an orange tiger male. He was wet, cold, shivering, covered with fleas, hungry and scared to hell when they brought him to me and asked if I wanted him. I IMMEDIATELY snatched him up and took him home. He didn't know how to eat or drink, so I warmed up some milk and kind of pushed his little face into it. He licked his face and figured it out. We got him warmed up, fed up, and then did battle in the tub with the fleas, and the rest is history. He was the happiest, most rambunctious little shit, but he's grown into a real lovable little partner. I can't hardly bear the thought of the day we part. I love him as much as I love any other member of my family. He's been with me for fifteen years now... hell he IS family.

He looks like a real character too. Good on you Pale, that's a very kind thing you did. It's a pity about his sister, that's sad. Fifteen years, he's thrived, obviously much loved and he knows it.

That's what I thought too but when I asked the vet she said she has a declawed cat that lives outside cuz it wouldn't stop peeing in her house. Been happy for 7 years. Said it was okay as long as she still had her back claws. Better then my mom sending her to the pound I guess but I hope we can work thru the litter issues. She uses her box 95%.
I have spoiled cats at my place, too....
....spoiled about a week ago, I really need to throw that out.
