I'm just wondering how you guys define your relationships with your cats? Is it like a parent child relationship? This is how I've come to feel about my babies over the years. I didn't really think this way at first and actually got a little embarassed if anybody referred to me as Katie's mom. She was my first cat, so our relationship really had to develop into that. Now, I definitely feel this way and am proud to be considered mom to my three beautiful babies.
