I would really like some new furniture but I just don't see the point.

After I raised my last cat from the kitty stage I swore I would never raise another kitty again, they get into everything, just like children, accept they have pointy teeth and claws. My cat would hide inside my Mrs. room and soon as I walked by the door I would be attacked. My legs were heavily scratched from the knee to the foot. It's a wonder I didn't die from an infection.
When we first brought the little gaffer home from the SPCA...the first thing he did when I put him down on the floor, was to run over to houseplant sitting on the floor, give it a good smack and knocked off a big leaf, bigger than him.
Because we spent 24/7 together for just over a decade; a strong bond was formed. At the end of his life, he would have accidents around his litter box, he would come to me and let me know I needed to have a look and do clean up. Even when he bit me while trying to give him pain meds and caused an infection(antibiotics)
I could never get upset with him, I loved that cat dearly and still do. He passed away on the winter solstice.

They become family members..

That's how I wound up with 5 of the little monsters in my house.

I have 5 as well. All strays that wandered up.

What a great group of cat lovers we have here. I'm just thrilled with all the cat love on the ICMAG forums.

I grew up with dogs, especially Labs as my stepfather raised, sold and trained them. He even had a small home business producing equipment used in dog trials. I use to like attending the trials and watching the dogs working.
The only dog I've owned is St Bernard(Brandy). I lived on a beef ranch when I own Brandy, she was funny, she thought she was a cow dog, like the other ranch dogs.
I like both animals cats and dogs, oh hell even birds too. Never owned any reptiles.
I think I find cats easier to have. I like their independent nature.

I have a great appreciation for people who rescue an animal.
