Dozen or so cat owners and not one admitted he loves his cats? You gotta love these little rascals to keep them. And besides, it won't make you a lesser man if you admit you love 'em.

I got 4 but I used to have 16 of 'em and they used to eat up half of our budget. In the future, I'll keep it to just 1 or 2; it's getting real hard to get fresh tunas here these days, overfishing and all. There not completely useless too. They know when there is a stranger in the house. When my house was broken into few years back, first thing I noticed was all my cats where gone hiding somewhere in the house. That's why, when I pass from one room to another at night, I first check if my cats are in their usual place. If not, I just get myself a fork - yup the one you use for dining - just in case...
