Definitely mixed. I love the 3 cats I have to pieces...but I have had really bad luck with cat health issues (even before my current cat situation) that has caused a huge amount of stress (including moneywise) and continues to do so, esp. with my almost 12-year-old having colon, kidney, and heart issues.
I also have a younger one (2 years old) on prozac for aggression (getting attacked by your young cat who is acting like a rabid raccoon gets old fast) who my other two sweethearts can't stand, and he has no idea how to not stalk them and act appropriately, so I don't blame them (he wasn't taught "manners" as a kitten as he was found alone very young).
So there has been a split in them making me feel better and making me feel more stressed and upset when all is considered, I think.
I think in the future I will probably be an only cat person (plus I SO want a dog in the probably far future). I guess I should be happy the two sweeties I have get along so well...sigh.
