Are you an Ailurophile?

An ailurophile is someone who adores cats; a cat-lover.
Personally, I never owned a pet, but I like all animals. I also get amazed by how they can be so smart sometimes.
I know many people who love cats so much, and many who dislike or fear them.
And you? Are you an ailurophile?

Well dang @EricMcCole ; I guess since I have 13 of them, that fits me perfectly.

I love dogs and cats. So much so that I do my best to make sure they have their cat litter box cleaned as well as feeding them with some fresh food and clean water.

@EricMcCole I do it because I love cats even though they like their privacy be keeping a low profile staying in my nephews room.

I'm not a cat lover but I do love my cat. I have no intention of having more cats though and I'm not interested in any other cats. I am more of a dog lover. But I have decided to get a cat I think a year ago and before I got my cat, I studied a lot on how to take care of them.

@toniganzon What kind of cat? Have you considered the Siamese? The Siamese is more like a dog than a cat. When I was a child my father brought home a Siamese kitten and we all were rather nervous about welcoming it into our home. Pretty soon it had us wrapped around it's sweet little paw and it didn't take long before I was a huge Siamese fan. I keep hoping that Bill will say that I can have a cat in his place. Right now I just have Petey, a ginger tabby. Petey is trying hard to be both cat and dog to me since the fire. I had 6 Siamese when my house burned down, along with three other breeds including Petey. He knew how much it hurt me to lose all my cats and my dog (a mini dachshund) so he made up his mind to be both cat and dog to make me feel better.

Noooooooo!
I am not really a fan of cats. I do rather like one that my fiance’s family has but that one only likes me because I give him tons of cat nip. I got scratched up by a few cats when I was a young child so I don’t have great early memories. I’m more of a dog and rodent person.

I love both cats and dogs. I have had one dog and two cats in my life.

People keep saying we do not own them, but, they own us. I tend to believe they are right. Cats are very independent ones. Do you have dogs instead? Do you have friends that have cats and you can pet them? It is a good experience having a cat. I like having them because you do not have to walk them 3 times a day but if you want to take them somewhere then they have to go in a carrier and that is not much fun for them. Dogs you put a leash on and go out the door. That is too bad that you never had a pet . They are great and they become part of the family.

I am not an ailurophile but my sister-in-law is. I am more a dog person but I had cats when I was little so I don't hate them. Thanks for introducing me to a new word.
