Yes I have, luverley.
Had continous cats for nigh on 60 years, cannot imagine a house without at least 2 in it.
The odd thing is that we can go away on a trip, either UK or abroad, and if I sit down for a moment a local cat will appear and make friends. I like cats but cats like me more.
(Except in LLundudno (is this right?..Ed) where they have jackdaws that hop along the road behind you croaking "Spare 10p for a cup of tea Guv?")
