    Ya I’d love to but there just isn’t enough room in this Pete. I have 2 cats. My one cat would be fine, very laid back easy going but my other one I would be worried of her escaping and then I would not leave until I found her. Could cause us to be late with appointments. My laid back little lady she would just chill but I guess I’d rather leave them both home together because I could not bring one and not the other. I do think it’s cool when I see people with their cats and it makes me wish mine were along. 167E711C-4BD5-44DC-9A9D-F84E2EAF8483.jpeg

    My stripped cat is the chill one, she is actually the mother to the orange one. But my orange one is kinda skidish and likes to hide unless I’m around then she constantly wants me petting her. Sometimes I feel bad when we gone so much trucking and they home alone. But I do feed them well and they have the run of the place and they are safe and sound so I love on them when I go home.

    Aw, now you hit me below the belt,,, my late mom, adored cats and if there ever is reincarnation, there's no doubt she'd be a cat. Some treated them like royalty. I like cats too, even though some can be annoying and unpredictable,,hmm, just like people,,,anyway, I'd love a cat in my apt. but they charge a $500 deposit and you know they will smell something. Dogs are a PITA, I read, having a dog is one of the worst "carbon foot prints" for our world. The attention they require, far outweighs the benefits, for me. Not to say I haven't encountered some pretty neat dogs, but generally, they are idiots and usually not the dogs fault, the owner is an idiot. Dog crap not picked up is one of my biggest pet peeves with dog owners. If I could shmear their face in it, I would. Dogs don't do well alone.
    Now cats, on the other hand, are almost the ideal pet to have. They don't eat a lot, hence, don't crap a lot, they clean themselves, they don't need to go outside, and are content in a small area, like a truck. They don't bark at every tree that goes by, only a baby crying is more irritating to me, and cats are great company. Yeah, the "box" is the worst part, but if kept clean, I tell ya', I've driven worse smelling trucks that had no pets.

    Ha! Dog lovers, on your mark. You bet. Maybe not your little Scruffy, but there approximately 470 MILLION dogs in the world. That's a LOT of dog crap,,I know, that's all I see is their rear ends, but I've always felt the way some treat their dogs, it's as if they have a mental problem of some kind and personify the dog. I just never felt the need to do that, and a cat is so much more independent. And another thing, people that have dogs, think EVERYBODY loves a dog, and no leash, oh, that's a biggie too. Can't understand why Fido won't come back. Cats will leave you alone, but a dog is aggressive first, and I hate that.
