I may have dogs now, but for years, my family was a cat family. Even though I later realized that I was mildly allergic to them all along, I still love those furry jerks.
Often, the key to picking out who loves cats from a distance and who has actually lived with them is whether or not that person will admit that felines are kind of The Worst. We just love them anyway, because they are also kind of The Best too.
