I have a black cat named Midnight. She is about 13 years old. Had a white cat but he ran away. xScout, sorry about your dog, Cosmo.
I have two weird looking, flat-faced felines (1 Himalayan, 1 Persian). I've raised them for nearly 10 years and am quite fond of them. It was difficult not to become at least moderately attached to anything that has been around for that long.
Sorry but cats are too spooky. Something wierds me out about the way they howl and scratch their asses when in heat.
I love my cats- even though the older is a bit of a schitz and probably hyperthyroid. Some people just don't understand their affections
Cats can be Man's best friend too! I remembered when I was hospitalized for a few days, my cat still waited every morning outside my bedroom for me to come out (every morning she would wait for me to wake up). According to my mom, she waited hours before she left.
