thanosibe 04/10/17 1:28:08 PM #24:	They just shouldn't be any more than pets. I, in my childhood has cats mostly, and I had a boa for most of my life that I had to give to another family member when I moved out of my folks house. But they were just pets. I see it more common in dogs and their owners, using them, as replacements for some kind of human presence in their life that is absent. Seems unhealthy to me, to the person and the dogs. But that's only the anecdotal examples I've seen with my eyes. --- I think I need a drink.

thanosibe 04/10/17 4:05:45 PM #35:	That's a good reason. I wasn't trying to pin my my personal observations on you. As I said, I grew up with cats in the house all through my childhood, and they are fairly low maintenance so, it's a good choice. I grew up with a lot of female cats, and only one male cat, at home. In the one rental I could have pets we (it was after I got married) had two male kittens. One with gastronomical issues with all but one brand of food we finally found, at that was like the most "high maintenance" I have ever experienced with cats. --- I think I need a drink.
