                                                          The truth about cats

                                                          Picture
                                                          From CATegorical Care:An Owner's Guide to America's #1 Companion by Steve Dale, Amy Shojau and Beth Adelman:

                                                          -- While pregnant women should take precautions to prevent contracting toxoplasmosis, there's no reason to give up the family cat(s).
                                                          -- Cats don't suck the breath out of infants or suffocate them.
                                                          -- Cats don't need to be outside to enjoy an enriching lifestyle.
                                                          -- Cats don't require milk.  It actually might make them sick.
                                                          -- Declawing is really an amputation which doesn't need to be done.
                                                          -- You can train cats to scratch in all the right places; in fact, you can train cats to do pretty much anything a dog can do.
