    Feb 4 2012: I think no. Even the standards: books, internet, travelling (of course the one may take her/his animals anywhere without their permission) are only for people. It's not a family, even though must be a very nice companionship. Cats are good, that's undeniable =]
    The thing is that we want this or no we put human features to our animals in our minds.
    Really, enjoy your time with cats, I know the time with cats is very enjoyable, but do not take that into other level than clear one: the friendship among a person and animals, OK, amazing animals.
