  1. Persian?

    Our kitty was killed a while back… but we have a new one coming round to visit, just recently. He slept in my lap in the chair last night, until I woke up around 6 this morning.

    Cats are my favorite ‘people’. 🙂

    1. Ragdoll. He’s a sweetie. His name is Remington. Whenever I put on the word, he comes right to the computer. 🙂

        1. He purrs as soon as he’s touched and stretches his paws. I call him my puppy cat because he follows me around the house like a dog. Haha! He’s only 5 months old, but will be huge, his breed grows to be about 20 lbs, and is the second largest after the Maine coon. He’s got the bluest eyes, and is very friendly. My husband got him for me for Christmas.

          1. NICE! 🙂

            Love Maine Coons, too,… especially how their coats change patterns/colors from different angles.

      1. Agreed! I like animals of all kinds, but cats rule.

        I always roll my eyes when people say crap like “cats hate their owners.” If my cat hates me, he sure is doing an excellent job of hiding it.

        1. The best description of the difference between cats & dogs was by a comedian (can’t remember who) many decades ago…

          He said “Dogs put on a dog act for their owners.”

          “Cats don’t put on an act for ANYONE.”

          Nailed it!

          1. Ha! There’s more than a grain of truth to that.

            It’s really apples and oranges. Dogs are pack animals, and they’re “hard-wired” for obedience, with an instinct to suck up to the “top dog” in the hierarchy.

            Cats are libertarian. 🙂 Apart from lions, cats just don’t have any natural instinct to obey anyone. If you compare cats’ behavior toward their human owners with how they interact with their mothers as kittens, it becomes apparent that cats view their owners as surrogate mothers rather than as “superiors.”

            Since cats see no reason to obey or suck up to their owners, they also have no reason to **pretend** that they love their owners. When a cat shows you affection with purring, licking, “love bites,” head-butts, and so on, you KNOW that it’s real love.
