> And to add to this: yes I think cat ownership is very worth it. It's basically an on-demand pleasure source that you can use as long as you want, whenever you want. Just curl up into the soft kitty and feel him purring, awesome!
If your cat is anything like mine, it is on demand for them...
When they don't want to play they climb in the highest place that they can and look down on me and my frustrated attempts to convince them to get down for play or food.
