It seems a ton of people on here have cats, and like to talk about them too. I love cats too, but I don't have money or time to properly care for one, so I won't own one. Still...

I love cats, and they love me, too.

So am I.

I would totally be that spinster cat lady with a dozen felines if my mom and my apartment building would allow it, but alas I have to make due with my 2 little furballs whom I treat as my babies. Expensive babies they are too. In the last year alone I've spent nearly 2k on their medical bills. They're getting old *sniff* Ones got diabetes, and may be going blind, the other has authritis

I love cats! I understand my cat more than I understand most humans.

I love cats. Cats are wonderful! Nothing against dogs except they're too noisy.

I really dislike those little ones that yaps at anything that moves

That's because they don't generally require much looking after.

I could see myself being an old spinster with a dozen cats too. I've loved cats all my life. Sadly though, once my current cat dies, my mom won't allow me to have any more pets. My current cat is a real pain in the butt. She's old, 8 or 9 years. She's got a terrible temper and has attacked everyone in the house numerous times, sometimes without warning. She's pretty much going blind, has breathing problems and sometimes literally gets crap stuck to her fur (she's a longhair). It makes me furious when that happens and I see her lying on my bed, because I have to wash everything. I actually wish I could get rid of her because I get so angry at being attacked and having to wash my sheets so often, but my brother is extremely protective of her and considers her his "princess". What's particularly BS about that is that he never takes care of her. Ever. And yet we have to keep her around or he'll flip.

I have two little grey tabbies <3 They're my babies

My last kitty I had we had to take her to the Humane Society; she became ill and we couldn't take care of her anymore I get kind of lonely without her sometimes . . . .

I actually think our admiration with them may have something to do with how similar we can be to cats. A little while ago I found a book at my theropists office, All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome . . . . The comparison of autism to cats is really interesting to think about . . . .

Either way, cats are just that lovable

I find that I have more in common with cats, than I do, with dogs.

I was allergic to cats (and everything else under the sun). I love cats though, but I got lots of birds now.

I love my cats more than I do most of my family I think, because unlike the rest of my family I am positive my cats love me back. No matter how bad tempered I am with them, they always come back to me for love and attention. My youngest cat is my true baby, she wont let anyone else touch her but me. When my one friend comes over to watch movies she meows her head off and warns him away from me. Then she spends the rest of the time hes around sitting on my lap like a little protecter, or more likely shes just jealous of any attention I show others. They're always by my side

I've outlived all my cats since a while back. Now the only cats I see are on the internet. Except when I visit some relative with cats.

I have heard of a lady that lives alone (in queensland somewhere)
she is in her 70's and is allergic to pets.

However her house is full of cat pictures and statues and her backyard is full of them as well.

Her mail is addressed to the Cat house and it gets to her without trouble.

pretty cool.
