My family has always had cats, I heard that when I was a baby we had 6 cats or more,
and that if I was crying by myself in my crib there would be a stampede of cats
running between my room and my parents room, like 'hey human come take care of your kid'
tho i think my dad exaggerates that story XD
growing up tho i remember three cats we had,
Cinder, Animal and Armageddon. they all died of old age,
Armageddon was the last. after her it was like a year before we got another cat, Tabby a maine coon.
who unfortunately met his fate with a car. then came whiskey and then smokey both russian blues, also passed on.
so currently we have Princess fluffy calico and fat cat Sammy a tuxedo cat.
