I love the company of the cats but I'm a dog person and I wished we would have chosen to get a dog instead. I haven't had a dog that does so much damage as cats do.

Always had a dog growing up, never thought I'd like cats. Never had a rescue cat though. Always had (and still have) pure-bred Siamese (we used to show them, got them as kittens), and they are the most interactive, fun animals I've ever dealt with. They are like little dogs, interact with you (one plays fetch), play with you, cheer you up when your down, greet you at the door, and all that without the drooling and walking duties of a dog. Mine only wreck the scratching post. Haven't had an issue with them peeing on stuff - that is usually a sign of being unhappy with that person or associating something with bad experiences (not necessarily your kids' fault).
