I grew up with dogs..by dad raises Boxers. I gave him a kitten for his birthday...and was 'caught'- he knew it was for me, and back to the neighbor it went. Today, I have six- and would have more if I had the right housing. My mom has two, and is moving next month- and already planning the next adoption. My brother has three, my other brother wants one but his wife says no way. (We say Bye Bye Ginny- hello kitty) (not really), my sister just snuck her third into the household (along with two rescue dogs). I am happy to say ALL of my familys pets (not my dad, tho) are rescued.

I can't imagine a house without cats. I greet every one of them when I get home. And every morning when I leave for work I say,"Be good, behave, BE CATS!"
