I personally dont like cats. I am a dog person, plus I happen to be allergic to cats. However my wife loves cats, so when I get deployed to Iraq for a year I got her a kitten so that she would not be alone. Since getting back home though, I have gotten over my allergies of her (I still break out terribly when I am around other cats, just not this one anymore) and I seem to have taken her in. She has become part of our family. Plus she is hillarious to watch. I am to the point though that I am going to give my cat the rat that my snake wont eat because it torture for the poor rat to live in the snake terrarium in fear and never be eaten. It has been 3 days now! I am actually having to feed the poor rat while it is in there.
