I agree Azerane. You bond just as easily with cats, it just depends on how you treat them.
I think people see cats more of independent animals, and therefor sometimes don't really bother.

It's amazing to see that when I still lived with Kenny, the cat would always go to him first, but since I moved out and when I do visit, the cat immidiatly comes to me, and I'll have to remove him myself as he won't ever leave.
I do believe he misses me

My brother would huggle his chickens, so yeah ... haha
