Absolutely cute team of friends, innit?

Heheh! The lower two thirds looks like my Golden Retriever 'Buck.' I can't describe myself as a 'cat person' though.

Most people like either cats OR dogs; rarely both.
I like both, each for their own nature.
I would have a cat, if I had an animal, but I always got on well with
all sorts of dogs (except one or two, which had obviously had VERY bad
experiences with men - which is not their fault).

Cats seem to have a bad public relations.
They are said to be unsocial - that is not true at all. Look at this one:

Olham, an amazing nature for a cat. It's as though the cat saw the boy as one of it's litter which is quite possible since the boy and the cat were introduced when the boy was just a baby. It is possible the cat has a motherly nature.

Sounds like you also think, cats are non-social, aloof natures.
That is not true - I knew many cats in my life.

Cats are different to dogs, which have a pack nature and like to either
have a leader, or be the leader.
The cat has a more individual, autonomous character.
You cannot really make a cat do things which she just doesn't like to do -
while a dog is a follower to the leader - a dog might bear a lot for him/her.

But individuality and autonomy do not mean being un-social.
Cats also need love, and when they love you, they also give you love.
Only in their own, catsy way.

This cat "belongs" to a lady who is a piano teacher.
The cat must have watched her playing many times. And now she tries to
do the same thing that her lady always does.
I can't help it - I love them!
