I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a significant other and a large, immediate family. No children, thank goodness. And I have a 13-year-old kitty.
I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.
Take one female cat over a seven-year period. If all the kittens survived and bred, she would be responsible for 21,000 cats - they are such prolific breeders: you can see how important it is to neuter.
I ruefully admit that if the cat is asleep in my chair - which she regards as hers, of course - I tend to leave her there and take the other one.
You have to be very insensitive in order to have a cat, because I think they're very independent. When they're kittens, you think they're going to have a dog temperament in that they're going to run to the door when you get home, lick you on the face and cuddle with you all the time, but cats are not that way.
I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I'm not looking for the secret to life... I just go on from day to day, taking what comes.
I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.
Back in Australia, I did foster care for sick cats for years, and I was always most successful with the animals when I was given two - a brother and sister.
A lot of cats are not that social.
Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.
