I've always liked cats and grew up with them most of my life but I never really formed a bond with them. When I adopted my first cat Storm, it was very different. First of all, he chose me and he later became very sick so I had to wean him back to health. This created a very strong bond between us. He's my heart kitty and my animal soulmate. Now I have 3 more male cats and I have bonded with all of them in different ways. I can't imagine my life without a cat in it. You have to earn their love but it's very worthwhile in the end.
