@Mareah Well, we need this fixed because you deserve to have lots of kitties to play with! I cannot imagine my real life without my two fur babies. We have two Main Coons, sisters from the same litter, that are four years old, and keep us laughing at their crazy antics or pulling out our hair because they're too smart for their own good. Both weigh about 26 pounds and are very fluffy. Lots of hair brushing at my house or we end up with massive fur bunnies everywhere. That part is a bit of a hassle, but we love them anyway. One has bonded with hubby and the other one is definitely my cat. But two days ago Lily, my cat, learned how to open the refrigerator, and helped herself to half a pound of sliced deli turkey. Then her sister Puff decided leftover roast beef was more to her liking, and I walked into the kitchen to find them contentedly washing their faces while sitting in a mess of meat shreds and ripped up saran wrap. So, don't be too hard on your parents. Some people just can't handle the many surprises cats have up their sleeves. And some day when you have a home of your own, you'll be able to experience the joy and frustration of having a furry friend. :)
