I used to have a cat that was half stolen half given away when I left Portland. In I still feel like shit about it but now I have seven cats. They aren't actually mine but I feed them and they knock around ping pong balls around the house. There are a ton of feral cats in Hawaii and mine are sort of feral. I mean I can't pick them up or pet them but I can feed them and play with them. I sort of have this relationship with other people too........
