The truth is, KK, I'm not a cat person. I think cats are cruel, self-centered, and dumb. The only reason I have Christian is that the former owner was going to drop him off at the pound and I figured no one would adopt an adult cat when so many kittens were available. So in a moment of weakness I offered her $25 just to keep him out of the clink. He's 17 now and getting old and a complete bother. He's staring at my left hand even now from about an inch away as I type. Always snuggling up to me in bed and crap and demanding to be petted and stroked. So I give in just to satisfy him, but I don't like it.
Now he's sitting in my lap. Dumb cat.
