Your dog says: "Look at all the nice things they do for me...they must be Gods!"

Your cat says: "Look at all the nice things they do for me...I must be a God!"

"pets are less disgusting than children"
Agreed, 100%

Were you not a child, Clinton? Ah well. Perhaps you are right...

I agree with Lily... never seen a child lick his own testicles in public yet... Neither have I seen a cat do wall painting in poop... Haven't heard my cat say 'are we nearly there yet' all the way up the road to the vets, nor do they get picky and decide not to eat the food they've scoffed down for the last year. Nope... Give me a four legged beastie any day of the week.

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.

Ummm. . . Ernest, one does not own a cat, one is owned by a cat (or cats).
Having be demoted, presumably by karma, from being a cat to being human I am working very hard at regaining that noble, four-legged and furred state. . . being cat in my next life will be gained by right thoughts and right actions. . . and appropriate worshipping, feeding, grooming and spoiling of said furry critters. . .

"we always take a plastic bag when walking him"

So you take the worlds more bio-degradable substance and wrap it up in something that's NEVER going to break down....

Smart move

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.

Immobilse your cat!
Try this:-
Very, very carefully!

Roll up a tea towel (or simillar)
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.
ENSURE THAT YOU LEAVE ENOUGH CLEARANCE SO THAT YOUR HAND WILL PASS BETWEEN THE TOWEL & THE CAT, SO IT IS NOT REALLY TOUCHING MOST OF MOGGY AND OBSERVE!
If all goes to plan, mog will walk a few paces & then slowly fall over!
Please report finding, our 2 lean mean eating machines have been immobilsed this way even with food in a dish a mere metre away.

When you come upon your cat, deep in meditation,
staring thoughtfully at something that you can't see, just
remember that your cat is, in fact, running the universe.

The cat was allergic. My husband said it was him or the cat.

So I got rid of my husband.

Once again I must agree with Clinton!

When I said cats were challenbing, I meant that the relationship shifts with the circumstanses and the cat's mood. With a dog, either you're a member of the pack or you aren't.

Dogs are a pain in the arse, when the owners leave them at home all day and they do nothing but howl.

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

Everyone we know either has pets who run their house, too, or doesn't get it and will never be more than a casual acquaintance.

I still maintain that pets are less disgusting than children, and lots of people seem to let their kids run the show, for better or for worse.

Both dogs and cats are delicious. As with most meat, the flavour can be improved upon with the right selection of seasoning and the proper method of cooking.

Sorry for the thread drift.

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).

Dogs are more for the mind, cats for the emotions. I do both. I 'could' live catless (unhappy, yes) but never dogless.

And some people are both. I like dogs but don't have the time or energy to take care of one without a big yard to put it in. The differences?

    Having cats around is more sensual than having dogs around.

    Understanding a dog is streightforeward; cats are a challenge.

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.

Deteriorating minds want to know.
