Well said, ignore those sad and selfish people, sad because they will never know what its like to own a cat, their warmth and affection. Selfish because they don't share their life.
I was nicknamed cat woman at my previous firm. I own three cats, and one dog I was told cats are smelly. I use plug in room freshners and keep a clean house. Well may be my house does smell of animals, but at least its lived in - I never come home to a dark, cold, empty house, mine is full of life and love.
I wouldn't swap my life for anyone elses.
