I like cats, especially big friendly cats and kittens. For me, the problem is I would never have one inside my house all the time and I think they are best in farms.
Like every other rancher, we had cat on the unspoken contract, they lived on our property in exchange for killing mice.
It is nice to pet cats, those who do not bite and scratch, to pet them, although most ranchers know that doing this spoils the cat.
I like pet cats, but I would not have them using a cat box in my house. There is also cat hair; it seems hard to imagine one cat causing so much hair to get in the house!
My feeling here is not many today who are under 60 years old know anything about life on a ranch? There we had grown up before you were born, and kids age fourteen where not children anymore. Some, by age fourteen quit school and became full-time ranchers! Education was not so tied to earning a living then, it was more being accomplished, being refined.
For females it was not at all tied to work outside the home, hardly anyone from that background wanted to leave home, yet, like cats, a ranch needs more men workers, so, the daughters are more likely to change the course of their lives.
I went to school a long time because I was not exposed to much other than ranch work, farming, church and school. We never watched TV, nor was it common, and this was good because now I am not as tired of TV and although I never cared much for television programming, when watching moves came out in the 80s, I liked it very much.
