@ All
You know I can remember well, when not that long ago, OK, I'm 68 years old, It WAS LONG AGO.................. when liking cats was considered more of a woman thing. Most guys were all macho and hated cats.
I'm so glad to see more and more and most for that matter, men liking and owning cats!
Plus in my case, and I see it with a lot of other people, A lot of folks can take or leave cats!
I was the same way. When I was 20, I took this apartment and the tennent who was moving, well my buddy in a way too, said, "It comes with a cat too"! I was like "well does it now"? I really didn't want one.
But I took him, and Chuck said, "His name is Mouse" I thought it was dumb, so I changed it to Mini-Mouse! (I thought it was a female)
Well, It was a male, but anyways, He was a real good cat, well behaved and everything, I really grew to love that guy.
Almost 50 years later, I have had a cat ever since. And, Yes, they are low maintenance!
