I think you can probably tell by my avatar.
I grew up with cats. Did not plan on having any of my own, but ended up living with a girl who loves cats. We currently have two. One chubby white female that sheds like crazy, is extremely lazy (she barely moves all day) but always keeps you company. One huge black and brown cat who just kind of does his own thing. He comes to say "what's up humans" every now and then, and then he is off again. In contrast to the white female, he has a lot of energy. I would rather have him as an outside cat, but it is not safe out for cats where we live and given that he was at a shelter in the inner city, an indoor life was really his only option (well, better than the alternative at least).
