You know life is short. I. myself, don't really feel like surrounding myself with people who aren't as crazy about cats as I am. In my job I meet new people every day (whether I want to or not). So if I meet someone I think has that "friendship potential" I just "cut to the chase" and "get to the point" with this question, Do you love cats?". I can always spot the fakers. We all can with it comes to this. Look, if I have to smile, and endure people asking me if I have children-then I am coming right back at them with the cat question. Now am I crazy? YES. Crazy about cats. So I am curious about how long you all know a person before you bring up your favorite feline? I guess I'm just getting a little weird sitting here with 12 feet of snow outside my door..
