Women who love cats:
1) Have a high tolerance for pain
2) Expect some playful biting/scratching as an inevitable consequence of canoodling
3) Understand my need to come and go at will
4) Know that I am fine with (un)equal parts undivided attention/being completely ignored
5) Appreciate that I will bring dead things (like bacon) home as tokens of affection
6) Are not unstrung by random nocturnal activity
7) Embrace that a certain level of household destruction is par for course
8) Want a companion who will listen and not try to fix things, other than offering (demanding) a good snuggle.
9) Appreciate the dichotomy of a feral beast making a genuine attempt at domestic living
10) Do not mind a bit of extra midsection fluff
