Never have and never will. But (isn't there always a but) we are currently staying with friends while our house is being finalized and they have 9 cats. The youngest, Abby, has taken an absolute shine to us. Their cats are not allowed in the bedrooms, just the dogs (they have 3, we have 1) but Abby has decided our bedroom now belongs to her. While the other cats prowl the house, Abby is currently curled up on my legs as I type this in bed. How can I not fall for this little cutie? She and our little dog have the most hilarious wrestling matches and frequently sleep all balled up together. I have even gone out and bought her her own cat treats (our dog gets a nightly treat and I didn't want her left out). Our friends are already joking that there is no way she will stay with them now that she is as spiled as our dog.
So ok, maybe I like one cat. I am a softie for cute animals.

funny, i just read a discussion about people who love cats. i was going to respond there, but i will do it here. i absolutely hate cats. I find them to be boring, lazy, and almost arrogant lol. My family always had a cat and i dont remember actually liking any of them. Here is a short story for you. It's disturbing, but i was very young, so thats my excuse.
when i was about 6 or 7 maybe, we had a cat. It had several names, most of them not very endearing, and i don't remember liking her at all. Well one day the cat was coming up the stairs on our deck and getting ready to come in just as i was coming into the house. so i held the door open for her. However as she got closer i remember thinking " if i just let go of the door would she make it through before it shut?" Really i just wondered if it would close before she got to it. Unfortunately she only made it about 3/4 the way through. the door closed on her tail and cut off the tip of it. so gross. I wont describe the insides of the tail's end but now, i cant even look at a cat without thinking about that. so not only do i not like them in the first place, but i also get kind of sick when i see them.
im not a weirdo i promise, just a stupid mistake when i was little. thought id share lol
