    Don't own a cat, but this would discourage me from getting one now

      I was crazy before I got my cats so if I did have those little buggers get in my system I never would have noticed :D

      Must be a dog lover who wrote it,lol. I currently have a kitten and am fostering four until they find homes. I love them. My kids do too. They are so special to us.

      If you are thinking of getting one please adopt a shelter or rescue cat. Most at good places are tested for everything so you know they are safe. They are usually up to date on shots and spayed or neutered so you don't have to worry about any of those bad things. And for every cat adopted you make room for another to be saved.

      The first two are my Fosters and the last one is my baby Sweet Pea.
