    Someone please tell this narrow minded paper that there are 70 milliion pet cats in this country, and they make great pets. I have had 2 cats over a period of 30 years and wouldn't trade a split second of my time with either one for any other animal. Dogs are wonderful, but a little fairness is indicated here. The word "pet" should no be equated with only dogs.
