    I have had many a (toy, thank you) mouse dropped at my feet by both cats. Supposedly it's a sign of affection and respect when cats bring you dead stuff, or that's what cat owners tell themselves so they worry a little less about their own perishable mortality. Vivi likes to bring me stuff too, specifically bits of confetti or tissues from the garbage.

    For any of you who may not be familiar, I have two rescue cats. Percy, a brown tabby who is somewhere around 3 years old and allergic to food. And Wink, a seven-year-old orange tabby with one eye and thumbs. We initially intended to get only one cat (Wink), but when I turned around after petting Wink, I found Percy curled up in Vivi's stroller purring as she tugged on his fur and pulled on his ears. Any cat who willingly put up with a baby? That was the (second) cat for us. Cats and toddlers have a lot in common -- one being I can't imagine my life without either of them. Here are 7 other things they have in common. - By Casey Mullins
