Animals are so great! But, of course, my favorite animal for the single, renting life is cats. Cats rock! My cats, Anna and Max, are so amazing. They dispell all the myths that cats have about them. They come when their names are called. They obey me when I tell them not to do something. Anna plays fetch with her little ball (yes, she actually brings it back to me). Max licks your hands and face if you get near him (that is actually VERY annoying and I'm trying to break him of the habit. Cat tongues are NOT soft). This is actually a funny story....often when I fall asleep, I have my arms over my head or lying up on top of my pillow. Well, Max likes to visit at night and occasionally he starts licking me. I once woke up to him licking my ARM-PIT. Aaaargh! I pushed him off the bed and yelled at him.

Anyway, besides the gross licking thing, my cats are great. My top five animals for my current lifestyle includes:

1.) Cats - short haired domestic
2.) Standard Poodle (of course)
3.) Airedale Terrier
4.) Fish
5.) Squirrel

Ok, so I really wouldn't want to have a squirrel, but I've always thought about how it would be neat to have one if they were domesticated.
