If someone was out all day, we wouldn't give them just one cat, because they would be lonely - we would give them two cats.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I usually just have one cat. It is difficult, but I have my one cat that he'll travel with me if it's appropriate, if I'm not going overseas.
There is nothing lonelier than a cat who has been loved, at least for a while, and then abandoned on the side of the road.
Multiple cat households are a good thing.
One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.
If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat, they, too, would purr.
Cats and their owners are on a private, exclusive loop of affection. Thus cats have become symbolic of a community eschewed and a hyper-engagement with oneself. They represent the profound danger of growing so independent in New York that it's not merely that you don't need anyone - it's that you don't know how to need anyone.
Most women are wise to the fact that lots of men love a cat-fight, and thus go out of their way not to give them one.
Well, when I was a little girl we had 17 cats once. They all lived outside, and they kept having more kittens. My mom made us put little ribbons around each kitten's neck, put them in a wagon, and go door-to-door around the neighborhood to try to give them away.
We have two dogs, Mabel and Wolf, and three cats at home, Charlie, George and Chairman. We have two cats on our farm, Tom and Little Sister, two horses, and two mini horses, Hannah and Tricky. We also have two cows, Holy and Madonna. And those are only the animals we let sleep in our bed.
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.
