Always had dogs, but after my Heeler (BEST DOG IN THE WORLD, EVER!) passed, I adopted the local cat colony and have had cats for years. If you raise a kitten all your own it's easier to understand the attachment, cats can be in tune with their person, but it works better if you can start at the beginning. My Missy was raised in my lap from the day she was born, and it has made her a bit different from most. Everyone jokes and they call her "Lassie" after the famous dog. She comes when I whistle, I can ask for anything she has and she will hand it to me like a well trained dog, she will find my brother and ask him to open doors for her if I'm on the other side... she even asks politely for bites of my steak, never stealing anything. She's quite clever.😻
It's a little easier having a cat too.
