I have two, and they are like kids to Faith and I - They run the household. Many people say they don't like cats and I guess they have their reasons but for us, well, they are really good companions, understand our moods and are just kind of nice to have around. I'm not sure about you, but I talk to mine a lot...Maybe you will too...Someday...First sign of madness...Or maybe that I find them better to talk with than most humans. Lol.
