"CAT-PERSON" PROFILE QUIZ:

Is your devotion to your cat and cat things in the training
stage, moderate, or extreme? Or a you an all out shameless
"cat-a-holic?" Let's just see how you rate as a "cat person,"
shall we?


See how many of these can you give an HONEST "yes" answer to:

--Can you meow so well that you can fake out your cats?

--Have you ever called your husband/wife by the cat's name
by mistake?

--Do you think of your cats as the "furry kids?"

--Did you ever decide to buy a house or rent an apartment based
solely on the potential spot for the litterbox?

--Do you think cat hair in your food is a good source of
protein?

--Last Christmas did you spend more money on cat toys than
you did on gifts for the kids or grandkids?

--Are you at a loss as to how to talk to people who don't own
any cats?

--Does your wallet contain more photos of your cats than
your kids or grandkids?

--Have you often slept on the very edge of the bed so that
you won't disturb the cat who's sleeping in the very middle?

--Do you leave messages for the kitty on the answering machine?

--Have you ever invited a guest to sit down by patting the seat
and making that noise with your pursed lips?

--Does your answering machine have the cat meowing on the
outgoing message?

--When you go to the bathroom do you think of it as "using
the litterbox"?

--Have you made a habit of setting a place at the table for
the kitty?

--Do you know your cat's birthday (or if not, have made a good
guess) and have a birthday party to celebrate?

--When your husband/wife gives you the ultimatum, "OK, it's
me or the cat," you don't hesitate for even one second.

--Do your neighbors talk about you as "the nut with all the
cats?"

How many did you answer "yes" to? I think just answering one
with a "yes" is enough to qualify you as a "Cat Person." But
the number of yes answers determines the degree:


***Score:

----1-4 yes answers: In training - you could do better, but
it's OK, you're learning.

----5-8 yes answers: Moderate - working on it, improving
nicely. Potential is there.

----9-13 yes answers: Extreme - just about there, almost
mastered the art. Keep stretching yourself.

---14-17 yes answers: Totally possessed, hopelessly devoted,
cat-a-holic. Congratulations! (But you'll find no 12 step
program here!) Addicted and proud of it, I say!
