I don't like cats...  

lol well you may not like cats but it sounds like a cat likes you..... and if she gets along that welll with your dog i say try it in your new home it will make your dog feel better being in a new place with someone his own size toplay with while everyone is at work and they wont be home alone to reak havoc on the new place..... we have 3 dogs 2 full grown cats and just had 6 kittens...so give abby a try i'm sure you will grow to love her more then you already think you dont...lol

I guess that little kitty has adopted you and wants you as her can opener and your dog as a play mate. So it would really lovely if you could take her with you when you move back to your own place.

funny, i just read a discussion about people who love cats. i was going to respond there, but i will do it here. i absolutely hate cats. I find them to be boring, lazy, and almost arrogant lol. My family always had a cat and i dont remember actually liking any of them. Here is a short story for you. It's disturbing, but i was very young, so thats my excuse.
when i was about 6 or 7 maybe, we had a cat. It had several names, most of them not very endearing, and i don't remember liking her at all. Well one day the cat was coming up the stairs on our deck and getting ready to come in just as i was coming into the house. so i held the door open for her. However as she got closer i remember thinking " if i just let go of the door would she make it through before it shut?" Really i just wondered if it would close before she got to it. Unfortunately she only made it about 3/4 the way through. the door closed on her tail and cut off the tip of it. so gross. I wont describe the insides of the tail's end but now, i cant even look at a cat without thinking about that. so not only do i not like them in the first place, but i also get kind of sick when i see them.
im not a weirdo i promise, just a stupid mistake when i was little. thought id share lol

I have seen this happen before. A man I knew didn't like cats until his wife let in a stray. They had a few more after that. He became very attached to them.
I'm the other way around. I have years of them, my kids always brought them home. I don't like them anymore, I'm sick of the hair and the litter box.
I like cats when they are someone else's.

awwww how cute!
you know, this reminded me of my father.. for as far back as I can remember he has hated cats.. if I asked for a pet cat, my dad would always, always, say "NO, we don't need a @#$% cat!" lol! we all just chalked it up to dad just hates cats and always will..
however, since my dad recently retired my daughter's cat decided to go make friends with my neighbor (which happens to be my parents) and this cat follows my dad every step he takes and watches everything he does.. if my dad is in the garden working, that cat will sit for hours and do nothing but watch him and then follow him home... last week my dad got upon the roof of his house to fix a shingle that was loose and the cat climbed up the trellis and sat on the hot roof just to watch my dad! then a few days ago I saw something that I thought I would never (in my lifetime) see.. I saw MY dad pick up the cat and sit it on his lap and pet it! he now refers to the cat as 'HIS' CAT! LOL! he also changed the cat's name and buys cat toys for her! this cat can do no wrong at all in my dad's eyes.. even when she unraveled his entire sweater while playing with a loose string that she found on the end of it! LOL!
