		<description><![CDATA[My mom, Mary, has a plaque in the kitchen that says, &quot;Dogs have masters, cats have staff&quot;. That certainly is true around my home! If I want to eat, I sit by my bowl until my Dad pets me! Then I eat. I have him well trained! When I want to play hide-and-seek I make very strong eye contact with Don. He knows that it is time to run upstairs and then find me! I always make it easy for him to find me!]]></description>

Mitzie  was  part of the family for 16 1/2 years and our son and his younger brother grew up with Mitzie.   It&#039;s just a different type of love.  We all were family.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before my dog was put to sleep, my dog was definitely part of my family. My mother and grandmother considered it a sibling to my brother and myself. We loved her dearly and I miss her even now. I count it a blessing that I believe that animals go to heaven and that I will see her again. So, I believe as your family grows, your love for your cats will continue to grow and they will be your children still. They will just have a bigger family to blend with. :-)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the comment Annette! So far, our cats seem to be ignoring the babies. We were actually hoping they would be a bit more interactive like yours are. Maybe someday!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would say that our cat is more like a sibling. they cuddle, they play together and they fight. That is with Amélie. With Zoe, I suspect she thinks that she is just a giant toy to play with. Especially those kicking legs and feet. One thing that is very cute is,  when Zoe (or Amélie) cries, she goes over to her and starts to rub her head as if she wants to tell her that it is ok (or to say, please stop that hurts my ears!!!). Otherwise, she is very good in getting our attention, I even think her life improved because she gets more food out of us......
