CATS

[dbrook]

I love my cat dearly, who must know it is Christmas time and kindly brought me my Christmas present early - a little robin [gun][gun]

We have always been 'dog people' (used to breed harlequin great danes)but because we lived in a very rural area we got a cat to keep mice away. He lived to be 21 years old and became a real member of the family. He seemed to think he was a dog anyway. We were all heartbroken when he died.I can't say I love cats but like many of our much loved dogs, Corky crept into our hearts and there was a great big hole there when he died.

Well, it depends on the cat....

some have real character. Guess it's like people....some you take to ..others you don't.

My first memory of a cat is not a good one. We used to have a cat called Guiness, I can remember being about four years old when he brought in a mouse and dropped it at my feet I ran away to the kitchen and somehow got an electric shock from the cooker.... that is probably where my fear comes from.

I do know he was only trying to be nice bringing me a gift.

Don't do pets, bringigng up 2 kids was hard enough, and besides anything else I am far too selfish[msnsad]

I voted other as I really don't like them but not because they smell.

I don't like the way our neighbours cat pee's up my front door or the way it sits on the bonnet and walks all over the windscreen of my car. I don't like the way all the cats in the neighbour hood use our garden as a toilet or sit tormenting the frogs in our pond (the heron had the last of the goldfish long ago). I think that kittens look cute in pictures but I am allergic to cats, dogs and horses so I actually prefer pictues of them all rather than the real thing.

My brother has springer spaniels and I think they are lovely from a distance but they do smell, particularly when they come in wet from their walks, but I wouldn't say I didn't like them. I wouldn't have any of them in my house though.
