me too
Tim,
I have one of those cats and a dog that puts out inordinate amounts of love.
the cat used to be a grouchy self sufficient cat that didn't like to be touched. when she was about 5 a dog attacked her and injured her quite badly, but she fully recovered. it was the strangest thing, now she is the most affectionate thing you can imagine. loves being touched, and touching. she'll let you do anything, she's like a rag doll.
then our dog, was abused before we got her. we got her at a shelter. even today she still flinches and backs away if you reach quickly for her head, or if your leg moves towards her fast, evidence she was hit and kicked. but she loves humans more than other dogs, she will stand up and literally hug you, put her both arms over your shoulders and kiss you.
there's something to be said for people like you who take on animals that are not your perfect pure bred whatever that you buy at a show for a few hundred dollars.
