There is a difference in personalities and temperments, I've observed. But it is difficult to put into words.

Cat people are more...

Dog people are more...

Puzzle and ponder, then wonder aloud with others about this.

This got to be a lot more ambiguous when my brother adopted a decidedly dog-like cat and we adopted an in-some-respects cat-like dog. Actually, the two of them are disturbingly similar. I guess that means we're still catless.

I like cats. I don't find them hard to understand at all, but maybe that's because they usually like me and let their guard down pretty quickly. I like dogs, too, but they're demanding. Cats can also be demanding, but they seem to be capable of entertaining themselves at least part of the time instead of needing to include you in absolutely everything (this is why I will never own a Labrador--I don't want a dog that friendly).

Place it around your cats tummy as far back towards the tail as you can, tie a knot in it (towel that is not cat) a half hitch will do.

Our dog is trained, house broken, loves to please and we always take a plastic bag when walking him in case he fouls the footpath.
Pet owners are the problem. When a dog howls all day it is because its owner didn't train it, and it suffers from separation anxiety. Too many people don't have the brains to raise children, let alone pets.

Pets are less disgusting than children? Hmmmm...I'm not sure I agree with that...kids can be messy and gross sometimes but I can't say that I've ever seen one eat their own poop or raid the litter box anytime they get the chance (Kitty Candy Factory for dogs). EW!

We have lots of cats and dogs...each of them have their own personalities and needs. Some of the dogs are snuggle bunnies, some of the cats would rather play for hours than to be held for 3 minutes. What kind of person does that make me? Who knows....one who loves her 4-legged babies and wouldn't give up any of them without a fight.

Belle The Beagle A Life Saver

OCOEE, FLA---She's three years old, has big floppy ears , a wet nose and only weighs 17 pounds.

But she saved the life of her best friend.

Belle the Beagle was honored in Washington Monday, the first canine recipient to win the VITA Wireless Samaritan Award which is given to someone who used a cell phone to save a life, prevent a crime or help in an emergency.

Belle saved the life of her owner, Kevin Weaver, 34, after he went into a diabetic seizure and collapsed with dangerously low blood sugar. Having been trained as a service dog, she knew exactly what to do. She found his cell phone and bit the number 9 on the keypad which had been programmed to dial 911 to summon emergency medical services.

Although all the dispatchers heard was barking, they sent an ambulance. Using her sense of smell, Belle had sensed a change in Weaver's blood sugar. She has undergone nine months of training as a diabetic-alert dog. 06-19-06

Hmmm.

I have cats, dogs, and children. All of them generally ignore me unless I have food.

They all are messy and require cleaning up after. All are trainable, after a fashion. The dogs probably do me the most good these days, because we walk about 45 minutes each morning. It keeps them in a mellow state of mind and they don't bark all day--though they do bark when there is something around to bark at. It isn't mindless. They're outside 24/7, and have lots of shade and water on these hot days.

The cats lounge around the house, as do the kids. The indoor critters (kids and cats) seem to sleep an awful lot. At least the kids wash the dishes.

Dog owners are disgusting if they don't clean up their dogs mess when they take them for walkies.

Dog mess in a public place, sure.

But how much more disgusting are cat owners who let their animals run wild all over the neighbourhood, in the sure and certain knowledge that they'll crap in their neighbours' private gardens and uproot their neighbours' plants? Our immediate area has at least half-a-dozen people with cats. Only one has the good sense to keep it in her flat and backyard - the rest let them run wild. The reason: "It's cruel to keep it cooped up inside." Well how much more cruel is it to inflict that animal's filth on the rest of the neighbourhood?

As far as I'm concerned, if you've got a cat, you either need a good acre of garden or a house completely surrounded by woods or farmland. If you don't have either of those, your cat should only be outside your house when you are and should never leave your property. If your cat can't tolerate that, you shouldn't own the cat.

In other words, it's a matter of responsibility. Cat owners seem to have cats because they think it relieves them of the responsibility of caring for it - it'll entertain itself and crap outside without needing your assistance. Dog owners take on their pets in the knowledge that they'll have to put in some active work with it.

People with pets generally love them. Cats, dogs, horses, etc. The cat/dog debate will continue after we are all food for worms.

People who have a sense of compassion can relate to animals. Years back I trapped a mouse in a live trap. I was away for a bit and came back to find it really close to death because it had had no water for days. I gave it water immediately and the transformation was remarkable. It perked up. I 'nursed' it for about a half hour, and when it was back to its feet again and walking under its own steam, I drove it about five miles from where I lived and let it go in a field. That mkes little sense I know. But then much about humans and life don't make a helluvalotta sense.

Three cats and you clean the box a couple of times a week? Whew! I scoop our two cat boxes daily and we have only two cats. If I don't keep them clean that often one of the cats gets it into his head to pee elsewhere. Doesn't happen often, but it's insidious when it happens.

The dog poop goes into a whole dug in the compost heap. It's amazing how much they can generate, in comparison to how much food I feed them every morning. They augment their diet with lots of bugs and grass. (I've seen them bouncing around the lawn in the evening catching June bugs after a recent rain).

Becca,

I thought that must be what you were getting at. We use the scoopable litter, but that only works if you scoop every day because otherwise the lumps dry out again and mix with the rest. Depending on the weather sometimes you have to scoop more often. My one cat doesn't stray very often, and he's getting old, so there could be hormone issues that come into play when he goofs.

CH, I tried that wheat stuff but got rid of it pretty quickly--it is also supposed to be scoopable, but if you have it around for very long you find a house full of weevils. No thanks!

This time of year it doesn't hurt to keep the flour in the fridge if you're not going to use it very fast. It's hot enough long enough that we get to the point where we can comfortably shower with the water temperature that comes out of the cold water tap. I could probably turn off the hot water heater. (I lived in Arizona for a couple of years, where when it gets really hot you turn off the hot water tank and use that as your source of cool water to mix with the hot water coming in the cold tap so you can stand the shower temperature).

Yeah, the temperature accelerates hatching the weevil eggs that are in all ground grain, no matter whether it turns up in Canada or Texas. And who knows how long the store had had this sack of litter before I bought it, since I don't think it came with a shelf date.

Nope, they don't, Clinton. They have been trained to know when all stops out is permissable and when it is not. However, they are one of the very few breeds that have been bred specificly to kill. And unlike cats, they don't intentionally drag it out as entertainment.

If I really went as far as set them on a cat, there would be no cat vet bills.....just the cost of burial. Keep your own wantonly cruel, malicious, purring predator in your own yard and you'll have no problems with me.

In ancient civilisations cats were worshipped as gods - they have not forgotten this...
I'm with Churchill - Pigs have by far the best personality for a pet - not as dimly dependent as dogs nor as superior as cats - unfortunately no matter how clean their personal habits they do still STINK and they can't catch vermin...
Far too many people believe themselves qualified to own a dog - there is nothing more tragic than the sight of a frustrated Border Collie which spends its life sticking its head through the cat flap to bark at passers by and take chunks out of the postman - at least cats don't turn psychotic through lack of attention and excercise - although some appear to be born that way.
Remember - if your cat was bigger than you, you would be its breakfast...

There was a wonderful article about Cesar Millan in The New Yorker a few weeks back (May 15, 2006). Here is an interview with the author of that article about that article. I can't seem to come up with a direct link to the article, though it is probably available through a magazine collection somewhere.

He is adamant that people need to treat dogs like they are dogs, it is much better for the dog. Some of his clients on the program clearly have a lot of emotional baggage that Millan can't touch--all he can do is help them relate to their animals better. (One hopes that behind the scenes he has a referral network in place and can point some of these folks to good counselors.)

There is a recent - to me- phenomenon that boggles my mind.

Last month I had my Cairn Terrier's ACL problem repaired. When we went back a couple of weeks later to have her stitches removed and I was at the desk finalizing the whole thing, this bright young thing asked perkily, What is your dog's last name?

I stared. Huh? She repeated the question. I said, Well, I never gave her one. I can give you my last name though.

It's the ligament in the knee, Stilly. In Meggie's case, we were fortunate that the ligament had not actually broken yet, just frayed and thinned and stretched. When the ligament snaps it can mean that the patella, the kneecap, also has to be attached in place, which is not only a longer surgery and longer recuperation and more expensive but more painful.

Incidentally, the replacement 'ligament' is actually fishing line! In little dogs like mine rather than imbedding the line they hook the line over the bone and wait for scar tissue and muscle to help hold it. Until then, the line is vulnerable to re-breaking. Eventually it will become stronger than the congenital one.

number 6, the things we'll do for our dogs, eh? A friend kept his old Fred going with a sling he rigged up to support him when he lost the use of his hind legs and I gave our old dachshund X a daily IV for 6 months because his kidneys were failing. After awhile he didn't like me very much anymore. I don't think I would do that again for any dog, but there were other extenuating circumstances in Wort's case.

Subject: RE: BS: Cat people vs dog people
From: Ebbie
Date: 23 Jun 06 - 12:57 AM

Speaking of expense, I had been warned that the surgery would run about $2000. and if the vet found that there were other repairs to be made and if there was a lot of debris in there that had to be cleaned up the cost could go as high as $2500.

Because Meggie's ligament was still intact- and that was all that was wrong - it ended up costing $1488.75. I wouldn't have paid $10,000 but I paid this amount happily and felt myself fortunate for it.

Meggie is less than 5 years old which made me hesitate to take her in the first place. I've been adopting older animals that have small chance of being adopted. However, I knew when I got her that she had medical issues - in addition to her ACL - and was functionally unadoptable. I haven't regretted it. She's a great little dog.

Their two dogs (Logie, border collie and Molly, cocker spaniel) had things called Conks. They're a hollow rubber toy which you fill with peanut butter and dog biscuits. The idea is the dogs bash them around and try to squeeze out the treats.
They were hilarious as they got madder and madder, dashing round the garden and bursting out from the middle of a thick privet hedge, each with a Conk in their teeth.

He was a prenuptial cat, even though he came after Christina and I got engaged. If I wanted marriage, I had to take the cat, too. We've had as many as four cats at a time, but I think this white one with its digestive and shedding problems, made Christina kick the cat habit.
