I was so lucky! Mum and Dad both liked animals so we ha a selection
over the years but always had a cat and a dog, I kept mice and my sisters
and I had a rabbit to share we also had a hedgehog for a while

Perhap's we're all adopted too!

How were your grand parents with small living things? It may have been
genetics, just passed a generation.

My idiot sister had a siamese mix named Bill after the cat in opus. The
only reason IS had her was because she was more scared of mice than
willing to do without a cat. I have concluded that I didn't get my cat
slave genes from my mother's side of the family (same mom, different
dads).

The old man liked cats and d*gs, but was a product of his generation and
upbringing. I like to think that with a different time, therapy, and a
lot of conditioning, he'd have made a really good cat slave.
