I also bond with cats. I've never known why, because they're so independent, but they seem to bond with me too. I've tamed MANY a feral cat, even tho it may have taken up to a year to do it. LOL But they became "my friend" when no one else could even get close to them.

Animals love unconditionally, and that's not so with people. I guess that's why alot of people prefer animals to people. And animals don't gossip. LOL

I think those of us who were abused will turn to animals instead of people -- you get more love that way.

I've always had cats, and I'm sure I always will.
