We've had a cat since before we bought the house. My brother suggested getting a cat for the half of the duplex when we lived together- two weeks later, he was on the fence about having a cat while I couldn't imagine not having one. As for Katie, she's always claimed to have "Feline Affinity" as a gift- cats naturally like her. Smokey certainly did.
A friend of ours has a cat that had to have a new home. Pippin is a seven year old male (Smokey is about 12 years old and female), and came over today. Currently he's in the basement in his 'kitten condo'- he seems to be adjusting to the new house fine. Smokey- we're not so sure about. She's hidden herself either under the couch or the bed for the entire day, even when Pippen was locked in his condo. We're hoping she'll get used to Pippen over time- especially since his cage is near both her food and her litter box.
At this point, I can't imagine our house without a cat. Odd for someone who grew up with a series of dogs and only one cat. Now it feels like "A house just doesn't seem like a home without a pet".
