You, know, I'm a dog person but I really like cats too.
Unfortunately, they make my wife's eyes swell. She takes an antihistamine before we go to our daughter's house because our daughter has two.
[Four counting the two in urns on the mantle. She thought that rescuing other cats in their place was the best possible tribute.]
Our son, her older brother, looks in on them when she is away on vacation or a business trips.
Vile creatures, he calls them, even while doting on them as if they were his own.
I'm the opposite, I own cats but really like dogs. They're more work than cats, though. I guess you can get used to leaving the house in all kinds of weather to walk them but for me that would get old quickly. Pretty sure your winters are a lot more hellish than ours, too. Do you have a fenced in yard for when you can't walk them?
Dogs are always happy to see you, cats can take you or leave you.
