I LOVE cats....

but I had cats that sprayed, missed the litterbox, and stayed at the neighbors house for days..... I DO NOT MISS THAT


I can't keep them in because I have a doggy door......
so I will have to pet everyone else's for now.....

Ataryu (black) and Grey (well??) would play mole hockey....
