Oh my goodness, you are in for an awakening once you get your kitties! Cats are very lively. They do sleep a lot, but when they're awake, they are in contant motion.

I have 5 cats with vastly different peronalities. But they all love to play. They are obsessed with laser lights. They come out of hiding when they hear even the slightest tinkle of the laser keychain. They'll sit for hours and watch birds outside - they might look like they're just sitting there, but every muscle is on alert and ready to spring into action. My guys also love feather teasers, furry mice, and catnip. They'll play by themselves or with each other. Its a hoot to watch two cats wrestling. And they'll blow your mind with how smart they are, and how well they use their paws. Mine can open drawers, plastic containers, and unscrew lids using their paws.

I bathe them, much to their displeasure. But they take care of themselves perfectly fine. Cats are meticulous groomers and keep themselves nice and clean.

I've only been scratched accidentally. I've been gotten good too! but they were scared or felt threatened and I just happened to get in their way to escape.

I always laugh when people say they don't like cats. I always KNOW they haven't ever been owned by one. If you are truly owned by a cat, you can no longer say you don't care for them.
