Well in this house we are cat people. We love cats, as you will know from some of my other blogs we have two cats. One Baskervile who is 8 months so still a kitten and our new cat Sushi who is 4 and fully grown. Well when I say fully grown, over weight is more like it, she has lost a little in the time that we have had her.
I always wanted a cat as a child but as my mum is alergic to animal fur so I was never allowed one or two or three. All we could have was fish but as first pets they were ok until I went to clean them out and I used hot water while they were still in the tank, I was only 10 at the time. In those days late 80's early 90's you didn't have all these nice fliters and you cleaned out the tank fully every week. Now we know that for the best fish health you need a fliter and only need to change 10-20% of the water every two weeks and only do a full clean every 6 months.
But anyway back to the cat or dog person. I think that as nice as a dog would be my house is too small and if I go to work when the children go to school full time the poor dog will be left on it's own for too long.
So for us cats are just right. You can leave them and they will come and go as they please as long as they have food and water they are fine.
They are welcome to sit on our laps for fuss and this is always on their terms. We make sure that they are groomed every day for our medum hair cat and once a week for our short hair cat.
It is lovely to have the little faces at the door or sitting on the sofa when you get in after you have been out. Baskerville is a very friendly cat who loves attention and will come sit on your shoulder and purr in your ear.
I think I'm going to become that old lady with the cats lol.
