I have been lucky enough to have had a cat in my life from as early as I can remember, we always had a cat in the house when I was growing up and I have continued this through my adult life. I am very comfortable around cats and understand that different cats, like people, have different needs and I'd like to think that when I am around them I'm sensitive and attentive to their differing personalities and levels of engagement. I have had rescue cats and raised cats from kittens, and I think this has educated me and helped me learn more about their needs and wants. And quite apart from anything I else, I think cats are just plain gorgeous really.
