I figure when I retire, I might get a dog...:)
I have had cats. They choose to interact with you of their own free will, while dogs, being part of the pack which you lead, are compelled to interact with you!
My cats give me a lot of enjoyment...they are brothers from the same litter. It might not seem so, but look at their markings on this image:
Look at their postures and the markings on their legs. They both have idiosyncrasies that are funny...they both do an odds smacking of the lips if you rub their jowls, and...if you rub their jowls the right way, you can make them "chuff" or sneeze.
I think this is one of my favorite pictures below...:)
Sweet photo of the two coupled up.....
Meezers? I love the way their markings match.
I am also owned by a meezer. He’s quite the chatty, purring, affectionate fellow.
