Well said, Katzpur!
I love both cats and dogs! My beloved ferret, Frannie, is around 10 now, and I've also had a number of hampsters that have touched my soul. I have two indoor cats, although outside there are at least six barn cats. (The father was tame enough for me to nab, to take into the animal shelter, which I was sad to do, but I know he'll be safer, there. The poor thing kept getting beaten up due to being ruled by his hormones.) I'm really worried about the mother and her kittens, which make up the six cats. The farmer/ landlord has okayed it for me to take the mom into get neutered (apparently, this is around her 4th litter) and he'll pay for it, but the kittens would be up to us. I'm kind of scared that they would get put to sleep if I took them in, though, but I'm not able to get them neutered at this time, and I worry about them, since keeping on feeding them if I'm not sure I can continue to afford it is kind of cruel.
Someday, I kind of hope to get a pug. Normally, I don't care whether a dog is of a certain breed or not, but there's something about them that I adore.
