I actually like cats better than dogs, I dont have to go out to the back yard and pick up sh#t all the time, I dont have to follow them around on a leash and clean up after them when I go for a walk, they dont bark in the night and wake me up and they keep the rodent population down to nill. Cats are great!

I would imagine the two guys trying to get into my tool shed would have liked it

if I prefered cats too.

Cats are cool, if you don't mind that the first sign of fire or trouble and their gone

(Unless of course you are the cats only way out).

Besides I hear they taist like chicken, Just like smhoo's and lesbians

Cats are to Eric Shea as Eric Shea is to God.

Matthew 13:40-42

40"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

My dog and the stupid cat (daughters) are best friends. The 85 pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever cuddles up and sleeps with the cat....

Geez!

Geez!

Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes... the dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

Do you really think I can make God sneeze? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

why? because:

- when you feed your dog, it thinks "This human is giving me free food every day. He must be a god!"

- when you feed your cat, it thinks "This human is giving me free food every day. I must be a god!"


that about sums it up.
cats are independent and don't take crap from nobody. my kind of pet.

One main reason that I like cats is their uncanny ability to detect BS.

That ability lets them immediately sense whether a person is good or bad, a liar or cheat, and whether that person is worth the cat's time. More than a few people I have known have failed the "cat test" and later events proved the cat 100% right.

As per that statement of
"Cats are cool, if you don't mind that the first sign of fire or trouble and their gone"

I beg to differ. One time I was in my front yard with my cat lounging around, and a large dog spotted me, ran into my yard growling and bearing his teeth at me in attack mode. That cat jumped up from somewhere, ran between me and the dog, and proceeded to puff up and howl. That gave me time to pick up the shovel, look the dog in the eyes and move at him with the distinct intent to sever parts of his anatomy with that shovel blade. The dog realized I was more serious and dangerous than he was, and backed off. The owner who was walking that vicious dog ran up and started yelling at me. I gave him one chance to get that mutt off my property, or he was getting him back in pieces. He was more than a little resentful to my suggestion his dog should be kept chained in his yard. But I pointed out the dog's attack behavior, and the cost of a lawsuit should that mutt ever decide to savage somebody- like me who could fight back, or even worse, a child who couldn't.

So if you are worth it, the cat will fight for you.

Well said. And it's not that I'm a "cat person" but an animal person and people making light of being cruel to animals pisses me off. Anyway, here are a couple of cat stories that were in the news recently ... although the second one is a little hard to believe.

Cat saves baby's life

A cat has saved the life of a newborn baby abandoned on the doorstep of a Cologne house in Germany in the middle of the night, by meowing loudly until someone woke up, a police spokesman says.

"The cat is a hero," Cologne police spokesman Uwe Beier said.

"Its loud meowing got the attention of the home-owner and saved the baby from suffering life-threatening hypothermia.

"The home-owner opened the door to see why the cat was making so much noise and discovered the newborn."

Mr Beier says the boy was taken to hospital at 5:00am local time on Thursday, when overnight temperatures fell toward zero, and had suffered only mild hypothermia.

He says there is no indication of what happened to the boy's mother.

Cat called 911 to help ill owner, police say

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police aren't sure how else to explain it.

But when an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911 call, an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living room floor. The cat's owner, Gary Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed having fallen out of his wheelchair.

Rosheisen said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons to call 911.

"I know it sounds kind of weird," Officer Patrick Daugherty said, unsuccessfully searching for some other explanation.

Rosheisen said he couldn't get up because of pain from osteoporosis and ministrokes that disrupt his balance. He also wasn't wearing his medical-alert necklace and couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that alerts paramedics that he needs help.

Daugherty said police received a 911 call from Rosheisen's apartment, but there was no one on the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out.

That's when Daugherty found Tommy next to the phone.

Rosheisen got the cat three years ago to help lower his blood pressure. He tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the training ever stuck.

The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons — including a speed dial for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone.

"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.

My next cat will be something along these lines, we may even start breeding them as I really like the concept of a unique breed of large cat. For those of you who dont know, this is a Savanah which is bred from the african Servals and they get to be about 30 or 40 pounds when full grown.

Beautiful animal! What is their temperment? Hate to have a mean 30lb cat mad at me.

[skline]

From what I understand, they pretty much have the same temperament as a normal domestic house cat, just a little bigger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I used to have an all black cat that was mixed with something and he grew to 27 pounds, it was hell if he jumped down in your lap from the top of the couch, knock the wind right out of you or make you feel like you were just kicked in the gonads. He was a very cool and calm cat but when it came to dogs, he kind of had an attitude if they got too close to him. I never declaw my cats either, I feel it is their natural defense and would not want to deprive them of being able to defend themselves.
