Cat and Mouse!

Let me preface this with my feelings about cats. I hate cats. It is a fact of life, in this place I live, that if you don't have a cat...you will have mice. You could rely on the 50,000 feral cats that populate the area, but my distaste for mice is stronger than my hatred of cats. And, in truth, she was free at the dairy and I decided to throw caution to the wind and bring home a cute little kitten. (all the while hoping, foolishly, that she would not turn into a cat.) We have been unusually blessed in the choice of this cat because, she thinks she is a dog. I love dogs! She is an outside cat, but when she is inside, she comes when you call and follows you around (not always my favorite). She doesn't scratch my kids when they man handle her, which is hourly at times. She likes eating, sleeping, and relieving herself outdoors...heaven for me and my husband, the jermafobe. Cats are people, too!
