We have three animals in the house. Two cats and one dog. I'm a cat person and not a big fan of the dog personally...
The first cat we have is female and we named her Nala. She's about 17 years old. The second cat is basicly a year younger and a male. He's Nala's son. His name is Whiny because well he wouldn't shut up when he was born. They are both orange cats.
As for the dog. He's an English Mastiff... About 6 years old I think. My mother named him Hercules... Eh.
Out of them, Nala is the shy one and she hates pretty much every living thing except for a few. (That few being me, my mother, my father, and my sister). She doesn't hiss or attack humans though but if any other animal (Like Whiny or Herc) gets too close, she'll b*-slap them. She is also Bipolar and can easily go back and forth between puring and hissing about 6 times within a minute... She prefers to stay inside and lay around most of the time. (Though you can get her chasing a string at night since you know cats are Nocturnal and most active at night).
Whiny on the other hand is extremely friendly and outgoing. He is also the brat and attention wanter. Oh and I gotta say, he is the smartest animal I have ever seen and he is extremely both human-like and dog-like in many ways. As for some stories... When he wants attention, he'll do something that he knows is bad on purpose just to get yelled at it. He use to try to go down to the basemant every chance he had just because we didn't want him down there... (He doesn't anymore and doesn't care about the basemant ever since I start purposely letting him down when he wants down). About him being human-like... Well, you can literally talk to him and he'll reply with a 'meow' that expresses his feelings about whatever you said to him... Like if I ask him if he wants to a bath... He'll be all like "Me'h" and walk away. But if I simply just say hello, his meow is more happy and greeting-like. Oh and he has a facial expression for every possible facial expression possibility you can think of... No joke. Now, as for him being dog-like... Sometimes you can command him like a dog and get him to sit and other things...
Anyways. There ya go.

Oh forgot to say. Whiny is friends with the dog but that cat knows what to do to **** off that dog and get it 'jelly'. It's hilarious to watch.
