Did you put this poll here for me, Pam? I can't think of a more confirmed *dog person* than I was. As a youngster we had both cats and dogs, but I don't think I ever had a real relationship with a cat. Although our cats were frequently in the house, I don't remember them sleeping there. I think we were the sort who put the cat out at night and they slept in the barn with the cows. All but one of our dogs slept in the house. For a very short time I lived with a roommate who had a cat which for some reason I didn't like at all.

Shortly before I found Pet Talk I became acquainted with a lady in Melbourne, Australia who has two Birman cats. It was through knowing her and hearing about her Boof and Mini and then meeting all the cats of Pet Talk through their people that I started to become very interested. However Dear Husband is a holdout and Hannah and Tucker have demonstrated their aversion as well, so I don't think my interest will go anywhere soon.
