I'm absolutely concinced there are cats that make us earn their affection. I should know - I have one, even after raising her from a tiny thing. Guess you could say cats are the mysterious creatures that makes us take notice and then bow down But how o love them, challenge that they can be...Kathe

Thank you, Georgie.
Cats are tough to deal with at times.
Dogs love our love. They see to crave it.
Cats make you earn it.
They are like good women.
