Oh, Jayne, I didn't mean it this way :-)! I wanted McGonagall to have a 
different Patronus *not* because I hate cats! I'm more of a dog person 
myself, but I certainly appreciate cats' beauty and grace. I wanted a 
different Patronus for McGonagall not because cats are bad and don't 
deserve to be her guardians - it's just doesn't feel right for me, you 
know? When McGonagall's Patronus turned out to be a cat in DH, I was 
surprised - I expected something else for some reason. I guess I 
thought of an owl because of McGonagall's name - Minerva. I certainly 
didn't intend to offend cats and cat-lovers like you :-).
