I love to play with the furry animals. They purr, cuddle up close and lick me... It's a real win win.
Yeah, I bet you do!

And that was the best picture ever!

My cat was called IT, she passed away in July 08 while I was away on an extended business trip. She suffered an anxiety attack followed by a heart attack, no kidding... Pets do have feelings!

As for tribes, people who want to hate will always find a reason. I prefer to love, and I usually find a reason for it too

What if the cat minds as well as a dog? That's my cat!

Cats are great screeners. When he hung his shirt on the chair & my cat sprayed it and he didn't get all bent out of shape---that's the one I married. The other one that sat on the couch scratching his ankles like a flea got him---NO WAY NO HOW!

The next thing I am going to here, those of us that have horses or like horses are going to be closed because of that? I think things are getting too nit-picky, if people are not wanting to accept partners with a free mind, what are they doing looking for a partner?
I used to own a horse, and they definitely can be a dealbreaker for some people. There's a large expense to owning a horse, and lots of time needed for care and riding. If you find some one who can appreciate your love for your horse, and doesn't complain about the expense or time, hold on to him/ her!

I haven't mentioned my cats in my profile, but it might be a good screening tool! If they'd close communication because of that, it's probably for the best for both of us. Unless something awful happens, I'm keeping my cats. As far as I know, my cats have never done anything embarrassing with a co-worker at an office Xmas party, gotten a DUI, or sent sexy pictures to women they met on World of Warcraft. More than I can say for my ex-husband (in his defense, he was very nice to the cats).

True, a horse causes a person expenses, but so does any other pet. Being able to care for a pet (all creatures that can be pets) cay say a lot of positive about a person, they can accept the responsibility of caring for them, they can take care of them, they can work together to make a team (well, the only exception to this I see if the pet is mentioned in every category in the profile, then the obsessive thoughts raises a red flag). The shear mention of a pet being reason to close a match says a lot of negative about a person. Are we looking to fall in love with someone else's pets or a partner?

I am indeed hoping that falling in love will happen one more time for me...but have also learned that human love can be fickle (including mine).

My cats, and in the past my dogs, have never been fickle.

Got matched with someone awhile back who missed the "cats" part of my profile. We went out once, and it was nice--at the end of the evening he said "lose the cats and we can go out again."

I know he's not typical, at least not typical for who I've had the pleasure of dating; but do see the OP's thinking here. There really are some folk out there who just plain hate the little critters. So they can find somebody else.

'Cause my cats have been here for years, and I ain't gettin' rid of them on the chance that someone might like me better for being disloyal to them.
