You either love ‘em or you hate ‘em… that’s right, cats! We, of course, love them and all of their odd little quirks to pieces, but we also know we’ll never really understand them!

And that is exactly what makes them so fascinating: they give of themselves, but never let you completely in on their secrets. They are like beautiful, mysterious lovers, the attraction is powerful, undeniable. We got together and, just for fun, came up with 27 reasons to attempt to explain just why they so enrapture us:
