Crazy cat lady

I never understood why people would get so attached to their pets and be devestated when something would happen to them. Until now. I was never a cat person growing up and never thought I would be. Until now. I have officially entered the world of animal lovers and I have to apologize for all the times I gave wierd looks or didn't seem to care when someone would be upset over "something small" that was wrong with their pet. We had a Homer scare and having the vet say we might have to put him down was a threat last week. Luckily, it turned out to be nothing but when I came home from work and saw him laying so peacefully on the couch, I was so happy that nothing happened to him. The people at the vet's office LOVED him and kept saying how he had a great "personality" and we felt so proud. I can see myself being one of those crazy cat ladies who ends up getting her house taken over by a thousand cats - front page of the newspaper, here I come!!
