My mom is this, cats love her and she doesn't mind too much even though she's allergic to them, but it does mean she can't pet them because cat hair gives her watery eyes, stuffed up nose and sneezes/coughing.

If not for that and that some cats pee on everything, I'd love to adopt a cat. They're basically a furry parent if they like you, that's why they sometimes try to bring you gifts (they think you're a kitten because you can't hunt).

I like to make sure other people's pets are comfy or happy when I visit someone or see someone walking their dog by taking notice and being nice, dogs and cats especially are usually happy to be noticed!

I'm pretty sure the "peeing on everything just for the sake of it" part is basically exclusive to un-neutered male cats (they do it to mark territory, as cats are territorial animals)
properly litter-trained cats usually don't pee all over the place, except occasional "surprises"

(also yep, i used to let my cat just roam around every now and then and almost every time he brought me a dead mice as a "gift")

Good to know. Sadly my mom is allergic so we won't be getting one, but yes, cats are wonderful.

It is not. Unneutered and neutered female cats pee indoors in my experience, although both were adopted strays. Also they're extremely aggressive and territorial to other females, even after neutering.

Some people just smell right. I know a guy who has a similar effect as katnip. Cats are all over him, smelling his armpits, legs, his backpack and shoes are also very popular. I Stand no chance next to him.
