I've always had cats. I've had dogs in the past, but I'm basically a cat person. At the moment I have four cats. My cats are loads of fun, and they each have very different personalities. Sophia can fetch better than any dog I've ever had, and she is also the only lap cat I have. She is always sitting in my lap, as she is right now. Baxter is an extremely gentle creature who loves everyone. He greets all visitors at the door and hangs out keeping everyone company, even my two year old niece who he loves. My two older cats are Jade and Grancey. Poor Jade would be happy as an only cat, but she is stuck with the rest of them. She and I are in constant competition for my chair. If I get up, before I can blink she will steal it from me. I'm too soft to make her get out. Grancey is my wise caretaker. He does not trust other people, but he is always around to protect me from what he sees as danger. And he is always at his chair next to the door to say goodbye when we leave.
And playful? When I am downstairs it sounds like I have horses running around upstairs. They are always playing with each other, or with us. And these babies do not like to be alone. Wherever we are, they will come find us. I really understand how old women get to be "cat ladies". It could easily happen to me, but I believe my intelligence and education would stop me from getting carried away.........
