confessions: i thought i was a dog person.

henry martin, aka *rikrak kittycat*. our newly adopted rescue maine coon tabby kitty cat mix.

it's true.
please don't think less of me for it.
i just hadn't seen the light, yet.

i used to think lots of stuff in life was either/or.
like one was either a cat person OR a dog person.
no middle ground there.
i chose my side early on in life.
i love dogs.
i've always been a dog person. those loyal, fun-loving, cuddly, friendly sweeties are just my kind of souls.

that said, as i hopefully become a better person in life (fingers crossed!) & i've come to happily see that like many things in life, usually mutually exclusive isn't the best way to be!

enter *henry martin*, our new-to-us shelter cat.

i'm not gonna lie to you:
i was nervous.
i have happily been a dog-friend/ dog-sister / dog-adorer but never one of the folks responsible-for-my-own-kittycat type of folks. so when we agreed as a family that little rikrak's long-time wish to get a kitty cat would finally come to fruition (he asked every birthday and Christmas for four years) a bit sheepishly, i finally agreed.

and you know what? it's wonderful!
now here i stand happily, delightfully corrected.

i just adore our *new-to-us* cat.
henry martin's about 2 and just the sweetest, cuddliest, friendliest little pet i've ever met. he loves to snuggle and cuddle and play fetch & retrieve. he loves being little rikrak's ball-hockey goalie and stands on his back paws (mostly in the middle of the night!) and gently composes two paw piano songs whenever he can.


so now i guess i`m a dog AND a cat person.
it's true.

how about you?
dog or cat person?
or both?

i thought FOR FUN today that our henry martin would like to meet all of your cute cute cats ... so let's have a little *kittycat crawl.* we'll visit all the rikrak studio readers' cats!

have a cat? i'd love to see them :)
