and I never imagined that I'd ever make peace with them, let alone OWN one. Then I moved to NZ, and EVERYONE has a cat here. I thought I'd give it a go, and see if it made me more of a kiwi.

Being a dog person and having a cat in the house was very strange at first. I wasn't used to a pet being so opinionated, and I wasn't used to the amount of independence a cat can have. I think having a cat has made me more patient. I think it's very funny how a cat will lay on you and purr, and then suddenly leap from your lap to be on it's own. It kind of teaches you to just let go and be there when they're ready.

Anyone else?
