To have cats means to have ragged wallpapers, a layer of cat hair on your clothing, scratches all over your body, and feeding a dozen times per day. But it also means listening to that incrediable "pur-r-r-r-r-r-r" sound in the evenings. Having a little hot body lying on your laps while you're reading. Wet and cold nose touching your cheek. Rough tongue licking your hair or hands. Owing good friends, who miss you when you're not at home and sleep on your clothes because it smells of you. And having someone who makes you feel happier... :))
