Cat person. I've never met a cat I couldn't get purring... People who have trouble with them just don't know how to treat them properly. My dad hated cats but he always thought you could train it like a dog, so our cats always hated him. Dogs like me too, but they are easy. I like the idea of cohabitating with an animal as opposed to "owning" one. As cheesy as it sounds, I feel more connected to nature that way. I used to be allergic, so I always missed out on the cat petting when I was little. I got over it, so that might also explain why I like them so much now.

As a person who works/goes out of town quite a bit, my rule is always get 2 cats so they can socialize each other and not be lonely.

I was thinking about how we bark at our dogs and meow at our cats, and I realized how ****ing weird it would be if they tried to imitate us without knowing what they were saying. Imagine your cat piping up to you and saying "Fork in here no pie" or something. I wonder if that's how we sound to them.

Haha that's so funny

Maybe that's exactly what meowing is? I don't think cats really meow at each other.

Tx for the replies... my mom hates cats and loves dogs, but even she can admit what beautiful babies I have.

I'm like you, Duga, I think of myself as a companion to my cat, rather than an owner of it.

I have heard this, that cats meow pretty much just for the sake of communicating to people.

No he doesn't run away. But he likes to stay out all night. When I go to work in the morning, he runs in the house as soon as I open the door. If at night he wants to be let in, he'll give me a holler, the way meows sounds like a person saying "yo!" - kinda like "Yo! (let me in)". Another thing is ever time I walk by him he's some place new. He can move from the from floor mat in front of the back door (where he sun bathes) to the chair in the living room to the window sill in the kitchen without me ever see him walk to those places. It is like he floats to where ever he wants to be, kinda like the Cheshire Cat.

Reminds me of a cat that I used to have called Missy. He would go out during the night and there was like a cat club/hangout under the neighbors house and he would come running through an open window in my bedroom. One night I got a little cold so i went to close the window and he jetted inside the window. I closed the window and I heard "THUMP". I guess he must have messed with some other cat's woman and started a fight but decided to run away and I saved him from getting beat up.

lol at Rez's quote in your sig.

Rez

FETCHER.

I also like to think of Violet as being my companion rather than me being her master (although I am), I've also had a few dogs that can walk themselves too, it's not difficult to train them, hell I even had a dog that sounds like Bob the cat with two family's haha! You've just got to train them properly.
