Cornerstone Community Church, San Jose Ca

I am not a cat person. I have always had a love affair with dogs and an equally strong aversion to cats. I am convinced that cats can sense this about me, that they can sense that I don't like them, don't want to touch them and don't want them around. Which is precisely why at least one of our neighborhood cats has decided to follow me home whenever he sees me hanging around outside. He knows I want nothing to do with him. He also knows that our dogs are gone and that it's now safe to nest in our yard. I used to shoo him away with a broom, at least when I was sure no one was looking -- you don't want to get a reputation as a cat-hater. But I don't anymore. The cat has won. I am now resigned to the fact that if I'm out for a walk or out working in the yard and this cat sees me, he is destined to follow me home.
