I grew up only having dogs, and your occasional goldfish and hamster. Mostly dogs though. My parents were dog people so that explains why we never tried having a cat in our house. When I got older and got married my husband informed me he always had cats!!
I am an animal lover so I was up for just about anything. Honestly, I was afraid of having a cat basically from inexperience. We ended up getting 3 cats( not all at the same time!) and I fell in love with them. Now we have 2 cats and 2 dogs and my baby (and most spoiled) is my cat Sushi. He is loving and cuddly and loves to be with me.
