Since I was a young child, I always loved cats. We had a huge garden, so my cats always had one or two cats; they played outside mostly, but were allowed inside as much as they wanted.
When we got married, we waited a few years, untill we would settle down. But then came the kids: turned out that our son was allergic to cats. Luckily, he grew out of this, and since then we swore we would never be without cats again!!!
Why I love cats? They are so independant; when they choose to love you, they do this with all their cat-heart. They always have their own meaning about things, and no matter how much you try to convince them, they keep their own meaning.
Sorry if I express this badly, but my English seems to be in the freezer today....

Anyway, I love my cats to pieces, that is for sure (it is obvious, isn't it )
