• My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
  
  
• My house would not look like a day care center, toys and donut beds everywhere.
  
  
• My clothing and furniture would be free of hair.
  
  
• My spare room would actually be a "guest" room, not a kitten room.
  
  
• I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.
  
  
• I could get up in the middle of the night without stepping on a wet furball in my bare feet.
  
  
• I would have the money (and no guilt) to go on a real vacation.
  
  
• I would not be on a first-name basis with six veterinarians.
  
  
• I would not be financing six veterinarian's as yet unborn grand kids' college educations.
  
  
• The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: down, no, stop and leave it ALONE.
  
  
• I would not talk 'baby talk'.  'Eat your din din'.  'Yummy yummy for the tummy'...
  
  
• I would not have a collection of various sizes and styles of litter scoops.
  
  
• I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE cat ties them down too much.
  
  
• I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an ANGEL as they will ever get.

IF I DIDN'T HAVE A CAT...

How empty my life would be!
