ReplyDeleteI used to have cats, for years, and enjoyed it immensely. Don't know about the cats, though. At least, they gave the impresion of being satisfied most of the time. But, you know cats, they're, as an old Indian used to say, like women: they only come around and become really sweet when they need you...!?:)
