8 April 2000, From the American Humane Association
The Purrfect Cat Owner

Maybe its you!
You may be the perfect cat owner if you-

• think scratching everything within reach is a sign of intelligence
• think 15 years of caring for a pet does not seem like a lifetime
• look forward to having your ankles rubbed by an affectionate, hairy animal after each shower
• don't mind sharing your house with someone who sheds, tracks kitty litter, and throws up hairballs
• don't mind a housemate who will randomly and regularly entertain you with outrageous and silly antics (at their whim, not yours)
• want to take care of someone every day
• want your lap warmed whenever you sit down
• would like to spend your extra money on pet food, toys, veterinary care, kitty litter, and more kitty litter
• want to be welcomed with a soft purr of appreciation
• believe that spaying and neutering pets will help solve the pet overpopulation problem
• can't imagine leaving your devoted pet behind when you move
• want to keep an ID tag on your pet so they can get back to you no matter what
• enjoy unconditional love and constant companionship
