I always thought of myself as a dog guy. But my daughter wanted a cat 2 years ago to help her deal with the anxiety Covid was causing. I must say we've grown quite attached to Arthur. And when she returned to college after the shut downs ended, we truly missed him (he went with her!!) I think the dog missed him most of all. Although the cat totally dominated, he liked having his "buddy" around. He would just wander the house, I think looking for him!
