..I have decided. You don't see them that often, although they may often be in the house, they are busy skulking about doing their own thing. And then when you do see then, usually when they are hungry, they sidle past you (on route to kitchen) looking haughty, secretive and superior. Yes, deifnitely a cat. And I'm not really a cat person.

School tomorrow.. good oh!!

Mine are more like dogs.
They growl when I go into their rooms, and bark answers to me if I dare ask a question!
Just as well we love them isn't it!!!

And if you're not careful, you can come downstairs in the morning and find that they've invited all their friends in, and they're sleeping all over the lounge floor.

my 2 ds are deffo like my dogs: their beds honk, they hate being bathed after romping around, they fight over their possessions, they argue with each other, and cannot pee in the right place , but reward me with suden displays of affection just as I am bawling them out.....oh yes, and they ALL dig up the garden.....

No no no ... cats are not clean animals ... my cats and my dds all leave hair everywhere and make muddy footprints (although my dds don't walk across the kitchen work surfaces, I have to say). And my dds don't honk up furballs. And I guess my dds don't leave half-eaten animal carcasses on the kitchen floor in the morning. Well, I'm assuming it's the cats ...
