i am a really "soft touch" when it comes to cats, cats know it and take advantage of me, i'll go to the aspca and walk into the cat room...anybody else who view the cats in the cages the cats will just kind of sit there an stare at them, i walk down the rows and they all reach out to me paws thru the bars and act pitiful, brakes my heart, i'm surpised i don't have 100 of the furry little rascals, although we are at a low point right now, we had as many as 5 but 2 left for that big tuna bowl in the sky within the last year (aged 14 and 16), and i hate to admit it but i do miss them......here's a link to the local aspca.
