I see that cats are on the menu, conversation-wise. Well, I’ve got a feral cat - a furry little demon to those outside our family - who has been the best cat I’ve ever had/ Sweet and affectionate, demanding and insistent - oh, and she “milks” her paws when she’s sitting on your lap and getting really comfy.

Our dog is a Japanese Chin - a cat-dog if ever there was one. Nice little dogs - very laid-back, very mellow, very cat-like.
