Aw, cats are great. My boyfriend has a fluffy feline... I spoil her like mad every time I go to visit. She is quite the handful, though. She is always begging for food and attention. We call her a terror. She's always had a lot of energy and she loves to come bug you at all the wrong times. Like at 4 AM in the morning. She'll jump on you and start licking your eyelids. "Hiiiii! Good morning!" And she does the "I'm gonna knead your stomach to make it more comfortable" thing. She also likes to drape over your shoulders when you're studying or trying to work. Quite annoying, really, but she's also a sweetheart. She may be a jerk, but she is lovable all the same.
Also, I agree about the raising two cats bit, as opposed to one. When I was younger, our family got a brother and a sister as kittens. They were indoor/outdoor cats and generally well adjusted. They had stuff to do during the day, but they'd happily come laze around on the bed at nighttime if they wanted attention. Good stuff.
That said, I'm also a dog person.. and an animal person.
