Here is what you should see:

She is pretty, and loving.
a friendly welcome when I get home.
Having her be there waiting at the door for me when I get home. Having her jump up in my lap when I'm sitting down relaxing, purring like crazy while I pet her. She sleeps with me every night and follows me around the appartment where ever I go.
Unconditional love.
She's playfull, fun, and plays fetch.
I get a lot out of "Boink". He makes me happy after a hard midterm and I love coming home to him here, waiting for me to love him and rub his stomach.
My two kittens are fun to play with and very cuddly and cute.
Having something around the house since my kids are older and moved out. Cats aren't very difficult to care for, they are mostly independent, but still serve as pets to play with and have fun.
entertainment, comfort, realxation, friendship, undying loyalty
He is friendly and a great companion. He's good to snuggle with when I'm sad, and he kills tons of mice in our house. I like that cats are so independant and you can leave them alone and not worry about them messing something up.
My kitty is very cuddly and loveable and a good friend.
I love to pet my kitty. I've had her since I was a little kid and she still sticks around.
Molly os very loving. She can tell when I am having a bad day and she'll come sit in my lap. She is all I need to "turn my frown upside down"
He's a fuzzy love. He's a lover. We hang out a lot.
None man, this cat sucks. She's scared of everything. Although I did have fun getting her high when I used to smoke. (I did not make this up.)
Companionship, love, comfort, affection.
My cat provides me with companionship and a friend.
Our cat is full of energy and loves to play, even wrestle. He's independent and not a cat who enjoys to cuddle or anything but has fun chasing objects and stuff. It's fun just to have a pet around the house, something to do and take care of.
