I've lived in this house since February temporarily and at first, the cats were a bit of trouble. They always wanted to come into my room and shed everywhere. They do shed, these long haired cats. It requres a weekly vacuum on the hard wood floors, just so a carpet doesn't develop. They grew on me and now I love them. They sleep while I sleep, over the covers, sometimes under them next to me. They love me and moving out this Sunday is going to be sad. My housemate is away and they miss him already. They'll have to miss me even longer. Cats.
