have to admit to, at one time, living with the family I love, with a dog and 4 cats. And have now been together for 46 years. For the past 5 years we’re down to a more sane 1 dog and 0 cats. Although, I’ve been hearing some disturbing hints lately.

Statistically a much larger number of homes in America own dogs than cats

However, there are more cats than dogs, seems that cat people own more pets per home than dog people. Must be a lot more “crazy cat” people around than I thought.
