It feels good to pick up a kitten from the shelter to give some random street tabby a new lease on life. Nobody really realizes how much they're needed until they take a casual, NON-COMMITAL visit to the humane society checking on every new litter of kittens coming through. These street cats do be wildin' out there in the wilderness and there's just too many kittens to count! Fortunately for the cats that are abandoned in the world, many of them will avoid becoming coyote food because of the pure love of a cat person.

Cat people are a different breed of hooman because we enjoy the tormenting parts of owning a pet– other (feeble) animal lovers just want a reciprocated relationship with their pet. For example, people want their dog to cuddle them in bed at night, people want to teach their parrots to talk, people want to hold a bunny in their arms and hand-feed them carrots. For cat people, we just want another living thing in the house that barely tolerates us, occasionally makes an appearance in the living room, and always wakes us up at midnight for a wee snack. That's the kind of pet that cat people want to rescue from the shelter. Forget the feathered friends, forget the loyal ones… we want the elusive orange cat that remains an eternal mystery.
