Yep when I had my feline furbabies that was definitely the case. I've even got cat ornaments that look like my old cats, I have toys in the shape of cats, all over the place which my Cairn Terrier sleeps with. I know all the names of the local cats, and get drawn to them like a magnet.
I'll be first in line when it comes the day they find something to stop cats irritating my Asthma.
