Yeah, cats and boxes are highly amusing.  I'd say I'm a cat and dog person.  I like both.  In fact I love most kind of animals.  I've owned gerbils, all kinds of fish, even Pigeons and Rabbits.


My kids have begged us to get another dog.  Our cat is usually good with dogs -- she'll lay right up against them, except for our neighbor's Jack Russell Terrier (or as we like to call him Jack Russell Terror because he likes to get under your wheel when you're taking off, barks at you all the time, runs all around the neighborhood getting in the ways of cars, and has even killed some kittens.  Of course I blame the owner, not the dog.  He's an energetic dog, and she never plays with him)


When we used to go away, we'd leave our cat outside.  She'd always hide under our house, and she would be mad at us for a couple of days for leaving her.  A couple of days after we came back, she'd come to the front door and just meow to let us know she's ready to come in.  Of course that was with the old house.  Now we can't leave her out, because she has nowhere to hide anymore.
