I agree with Dana that it's the connection you feel - whether to a cat, dog, or horse. I was crazy for horses from a young age and have never lost that. I found out soon enough that horses (hunters/jumpers, anyway) are for rich people only and my family wasn't even close - but I still love horses and riding. I loved my chocolate Lab, Molly, and I've loved many of the cats I've cared for and bred - not every single one, because they're individuals like all animals. I gave each one my best but there are some that touched my heart more than others. I love the intelligent ones; they connect emotionally just as dogs do.
