Can't say I own a cat. Although we do have three cats living in our house who own some humans

We have two boys (an Australian Mist and a moggy) and a girl (a bengal). The boys are generally more affectionate and more likely to become lap cats if that's what you're hoping for. Girls are usually a bit crazier (playful), but I think they're a bit more empathetic. My female cats have always been more in tune with my feelings.

The girl cat that I have now (the bengal) knew that I was pregnant before I did!! And now she's almost like a second mum to Alyssa. Keeps an eye on her and can be quite protective. Other than that, they both love to play with the same things, and have been known to fight over stuff that they both want! Alyssa also pulls her tail ALL THE TIME, and the worst she does is meow LOUDLY and look to DH and myself for help!

We have not had any problems with the cats and our baby (apart from all of them being a bit jealous when she first came home, but two weeks later they just all wanted to cuddle with her). Having said that, we don't allow them into her bedroom.
