OK 'fess up.....

remember asking your mom that question.....you were sure she loved someone more than you.....from your perspective at a very young age, i could see how you might think that as you looked at her "cooing" about something that somebody else did and you felt an "aha" moment ....you finally "caught" mom "loving" someone "more" than you......hmmmmm i, at least, dont feel that way....i love all my children, would give my life for any one of them...but that doesnt mean you dont appreciate and love (and at times not especially love some of those differences) the differences in your children and perhaps "schmooze" over that difference now and then......but no.....i love all my children and as the mom of 3 boy cats i feel the same way about them....i love them all as much as one can love.....but i do realize the differences in them and like to "schmooze" over them once in awhile too.......i like cataholics comment...."i love cats i havent even met yet" ......i agree with that, whether we talk of our pets or our children.....

I got Snowy and Mr. Jones about 18 months ago. Snowy was a small kitten and Mr. Jones was about 1-1.5 years old. Up until recently I did have a love preference for Snowy. He's my baby boy. But, recently Mr. Jones' personality has been getting sweeter and sweeter. He's a big love bug. Now I am very protective of Mr. Jones because he keeps on getting picked on (by you know who) and he spent at least 4 months in that jail (shelter)
So, I want him to feel like he always has a special place. I could tell you who I love more, now. They are both my precious boys.

I don't have a favorite, I love all my kitties equally

[All Creatures Great And Small]

I tend to only have one of everything, including husband, kid, and cat, but I must confess that I like my furkid better than my skinkid these days.....their teen years are BRUTAL on parents

It has crossed my mind several times, If I had to choose one cat of all of my menagerie, which one would you take? It is not a matter of loving one more that the others, because I love all of them equally. However, I think I would choose Nikolai, because of his breed, a very loyal Russian Blue. But believe me, the choice would be difficult to make. Yet I think that 5 furkids would be enough. But now which of the 5 would I keep. It is an equally difficult question to anwer, even if the outcome would be times 5! I am glad that now I have 11 indoor and 4 outside neightborhood cats to care for. Although, they can become a bit overwhelming at times, especially when I want to eat pizza!

I love all my pets just the same . They are all my "kids" , and I could'nt miss them !! That's why I miss Sydney so very much ... I wanna cuddle him too , but he is at the RB
If there is a difference to be made , then it is towards their behaviour . Inka is a truly lap-cat ... ! I just LOVE it to have a cat on my lap or anywhere else on me (lol) , so in that way , I must say I love that part of her character ! As about Billie , there is one thing I dislike : the cutie hates it to be taken out of his cage or outdoor run , so then he BITES . Not pleasant !!And what is making so nervous lately , is Maya's "poop-behaviour" ... . She still does leave her "sigares" in a corner regularly ....

But I repeat it : I LOVE ALL MY PETS EQUALLY !!!

One thing is true: Their teen years are BRUTAL for them too -but I know what you're talking about. I remember my husband's daughter at that age...

But: good point. I am convinced that my parents love their dogs more than they ever loved my sister and me. And I am sure that my sister loves her dogs and cats more than my niece. I am more or less sure that my niece loves her cat more than my sister. I have also a suspicion about my husband.
And it's maybe not too bad that I don't have skinkids

Crazy family isn't

This will be blasphemous to say here but... I'd have to say Kia is my favorite over Zam.

Zam is a bit high strung and most of the time I can't pet her without her slicing and dicing my hand with her teeth and claws. She's loving on HER terms where Kia is always there when I need a shoulder to cry on.

But in all fairness, Zam is new to the family and I'm hoping that after she's fixed, she'll calm down a little.

But I don't love Zam any less.

That's normal attitude for a cat , Kimmy ...! she loves being petted , IF SHE CHOOSES TOO ; if not , then beware of her paws ..

ramanth, I love your calico kitty, especially the black spot on her nose! ( I want a calico )

I WISH my parents were like that!!! They are not pet people. They love other people's pets and take great care of my pets if I need them to, but don't want the permanent responsibility of a lifelong commitment. I always beg my parents to get an animal and let me pick it out, hehe

Interesting topic!! I have to admit that Marius is my favorite. I think it's because Marius is my cat...my first cat (that wasn't my parent's cat or the family cat...but MY cat) and Scooter is Aaron's cat. We both brought our cats to the marriage, so it's like we have our own his and hers cats. Scooter clearly loves Aaron, but he only tolerates me to a point and that's fine. He's definitely daddy's boy and I love him too, but I love my little Marius head because he's my special boy!

you'd better say Marius (the Monte look alike) LOL
