    I wasn't sure about cats either, but one stray decided to followed me home one night last year and kept me until last friday when he was killed by a driver coming out of his driveway.. I wish he was still here waiting for me when I come home from work everyday. He was a great cat, so much so that I hope he does have a soul so I can see him again in 80 or so years. Honestly I can't wait to see him again.. Requiscat In Pace, Maus.

    Cats stay with you because they want to. Dogs on the other hand are pack animals and are always looking for a pack leader. Cats are sometimes aloof and this is their way of making sure you don't get too full of yourself. Cats are great levelers and are very smart.

    I truly believe that it takes a special person to own a cat, for it is not the person that chooses the cat but the cat that chooses the person. My cat polly is now 12 years old and she still behaves like a kitten . She is a very happy cat who purrs when I wake up when i say good morning , she follows me everywhere and sits on my lap or on my shoulder she even waits by the door and meows when I put the key in the door however she does not tolerate other people at all especially children or men, she has never hurt them she just chooses to stay away and hide in bed. Polly has shown me what love and loyalty is and because of her unique ways I could not imagine life without her.

    I have 3 cats--all strays.



    My cats adopted me and now allow me to live in the house with them so I can feed and care for them.

    If that is the pic of your cat she is beautiful. Looks like a Burmese; I have two Burmese sisters and they are so loving. Thanks for being a good friend to the cat. They are amazing creatures.

    Wow! I can't believe that this thread has been going on for three years.



    I, too, have a really sweet cat that sleeps with me at night. He's my constant companion and I can't imagine not having him around. When I'm down, he seems to know and will stick close to me for comfort.

    Reading your story and the comments by others makes me sad. I'm living away from my two cats right now, my big fluffy, black-but-turning-grey-haired, Kira, and my Siamese/Tabby, Billy. He's been my (sounds pathetic) best friend for 11 years now, and she for less than half of that. They're a province away and my apartment doesn't allow pets, though I'm beginning a search for one that does. Cats are such unique animals, I adore them.

    My cat did the same thing. Cats choose you. Since you rescued her you showed your cat love so she loves you back.
