"Some poor, unfortunate, people have never loved, or been loved, by a cat. You really have to pity them."

I absolutely agree. I really feel sorry for those that have not experienced the joy of bonding and loving an animal. What a huge hole they have and don't even know it! You can't idiot-proof the world so just let it roll off you and focus your energy on your lovely posse.
You know what REALLY pisses me off? No one would ever think of SAYING to a person...How many KIDS do you have? Answer: Six. Reply: Why so many? I mean honestly I wonder what goes thru peoples heads? She doesn't KNOW you. SHe doesn't KNOW your life and your cats. It's just plain rude. People need to learn some manners.
