['I love having my kitty snuggling up to me.  I feel so loved!']
Funny you say that... my roommate just got a cat about a month ago. I was hesitant to agree to share the apartment with it, as I'm not the most fond of them. But I didn't want to say no. It's actually been an affectionate cat so far.
I feel on top of the world when I have my kitty Trinity snuggled in my lap.  I never have to worry about her scratching me!
