Do you by any chance know Kurt Lightner (an American artist expat in Sweden)? He wrote a song in college all about cats and I feel like it would be an appropriate accompaniment to this post.
Also, re: cats for delight:
After college and before a half-decade in the UK, I worked as a nanny. One day when the baby I cared for was old enough to talk a little (he was much more fun and) we went outside and sat on the front step in the sunshine. Someone else's cat walked by across the street. The child said (and I have to write it down in poem form):
Kitty.
God made.
Kitty.
Happy God.
I'm a dog person, but I've never forgotten that and I absolutely love it still.
