I had a cat when I was younger and I swear she was like a dog. She was
affectionate. She craved attention (whether she wanted food or not).

She would crawl under the quilt in the middle of the night and sleep
on my chest.

Or she would just sit on the bed, and the vibration from her purring
would wake me up/get my attention

She really was a little ball of cute.

I was shocked when I was 7 and I saw her kill. There was a dying bird
in the garden & she would 'play' with it - she's let it go, then
pounce on it again. I suppose it's their instinct (to be killing
machines) but aw... soooo cute
