	They're crack. You start off hating them, and then you get a sample, and the next thing you know who've got a colony of ferals eating premium cat food on your deck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

They totally do. I've had cats my whole life, so while I love them I can actually realistically gauge my ability to care for a given cat, how many I can have in my house, etc, though I will always stop to pet one. But I see it happen to other people, even by proxy. I volunteer for the SF/SPCA, and we just started our Macy's Holiday WIndows (every year from just before Thanksgiving until New Year's Day, the downtown Macy's sets up a cute little themed display for us in the windows at the Ellis/O'Farrell corner, and gives us space inside to conduct adoptions. We put animals (kittens mostly) in the windows on a rotating basis, have people outside collecting donations and people inside caring for the animals/facilitating adoptions (that's me this year). After my shift on Sunday I went over to the big Benefit Cosmetics counter across the floor from where we're set up, and ended up getting my eyebrows waxed - and the girl who was doing it told me she wasn't a huge cat person but she had seen me earlier loving and cuddling this little gray tabby, and it made her want a cat. (It was probably Turtle, this tiny little girl who looked like she was two or three weeks younger than she actually was, who had been put in a window but taken out and back to our space because she got lonely and didn't like it, so of course I had to comfort her. When I left it looked like she was going to be adopted ^_^)
