Why people like cats? I ever wonder...

I like my cat because he wakes me up on time to go to work. He alerts me when it's time for bed. I live in this old-fashioned house and he can catch giant cucaracha for me. He is about 8 in cat's age. I can't have it anymore, because I am moving. He is very photogenic. It also appeared on "Puddy Tat" - A Cat's Journal gallery.
