Many people are surprised that growing up, I always thought I was a dog person. We always had dogs until I was in 5th grade or so, when we finally got a cat. I can't imagine having a dog anymore.

Anyone who says they don't like cats doesn't know any great cats. I've been lucky to have many great cats in my life. My cats come when they are called, many have played fetch, and are all around general puppy-cats.

I love that cats are quiet and subtle. I love that they can take care of themselves. I love that they are small enough to sleep on you without making your leg fall asleep. A cat purr is one of my favorite sounds. I love the way kittens smell, and how their tails stick straight up when they run, and how they bounce around the floor.
