I have a cat and I absolutely ador him. He sleeps on my bed when I go to sleep, and loves to be petted. He still catches birds despite being 10 years old, so he's keeping fit.
Our street is filled with cats, all of them love attention. The next door neighbour will look at you and just collapse into your hands for a belly rub and petting. The cat down the end of the street is constantly out the front of the house in the driveway when I come home from University, snf demands an ear scratch.
I swear there is some sort fo Cat Mafia in our street. All the cats from my side of the street [Pepsi, Sam and Rufus] all hate the cat from the other side of the road. Both groups will sometimes stand off each other from the other side of the road and stare at each other, it's hilarious!
