This might be a disappointing answer, but I've always just wanted a cat Ever since I was little, cats were fascinating to me. They always seemed a lot more beautiful and graceful than dogs, and people have always associated them with magic, and I just love magic! My favorite kind were regular alley black cats, since most superstition revolves around them. And whenever I saw a show, or read a book, or just saw a picture with someone and a cat, it always seemed like they have a special relationship. The cat wasn't needy and demanding, he was kind of cool. After I read the Harry Potter books, I kind of wanted an owl, but I got back to cats very quickly.
