[begin moan]
Why does everybody like cats. They are antisocial and fussy, they
demand attention when you don't want to give it to them, but hate
attention when you do. They are not that clever, and most of the time
they look mingy.

Well, I like my cat (and believe me, very few people do) just because
he's so stupid (really, "not that clever" just doesn't cut it when
describing the brainpower of my cat) antisocial, fussy and mingy-looking
that he makes me feel superior.

I can't agree with you more except I do think they are cut and pretty
animals, but their personalities cause them to be ugly creatures. So if

( . )
(_) (_) New & Retired Beanies available. Prices start at $5.95!
They wake you up in the morning as efficiently as any alarm clock (and
unlike alarm clocks they can't be turned off too easily), they get rid
of the mice that otherwise invade your home, they don't need the
constant attention and fuzzying that a dog needs, they are grown-up and
take care of themselves most of the time (unlike dogs, who remain babies
all their lives, I mean, dogs can't even go to the toilet without your
help...), they are amusing, they are friendly, etc etc

Blame your ancestors -- beautiful creatures like wild cats were made
into sheep as much as sheep were -- mankind has bred animals to destroy
their health and make it harder for them to survive without mankind,
like breeding short-legged sheep that can't run away from things...

LOL, I think you answered your own thought. Having a pet like that, kind
of defeats the purpose. As far as the insecurity goes..."WHATEVER!?!?"
LMAO
TO ALL:
Keep in mind that I just didn't want my buddie to think he was the only
one who felt like that. I could care less what people think of my
opinion. I'm just glad we can all have our own opinions and feel free to
speak it. HOORAY FOR INTERNET FREEDOM OF SPEACH!

Bye,
Mmmmm.... more like "Yuck!". And they are _rude_ little bastards too!
They make noises in the walls when we want to sleep, they think we put
food in the kitchen just for them and so help themselves to anything
that isn't locked inside metal boxes or the fridge, they _ate_ my
passport (and peed on the "leftovers"!), etc etc etc (I've even found
them in my bed! when I was in it!!!). After struggling with poison,
traps (the ones that kill as well as the ones that just cage the mice),
even ultrasound (completely useless btw), we found ourselves with the
choice "do we want mice or do we want a cat?" (it was not a difficult
choice). We got a cat and the mouse problem went away. :)

Yep. Get a cat. It's the only thing worked when I was in a place
with mice around. In city streets, if you can't look after a
cat of your own, just encourage one of the neighbourhood cats
to wander in and take up part-time residence....

I would bet money that your opinion of having a pet is in the minority
and there is nothing wrong with that. If it makes you happy then great.
But I just can't see a pet demanding attention when they want it.
If I wanted to fill your description of a pet, I'd rather have a child
instead of a cat. *S* There is just no way I will let my life get ran by
a cat and most cat owners I know, are not in charge of their homes.
******
I was going to leave this at that, but then I decided to go ahead and
have fun with this debate that never seems to end. *S*
******
Besides a dog will go running with you and play out on the river and
woods with you. They will just be there for you when you need them most.
Psychiatrists say that a dog is the best thearpy for a manic depresent.
Dogs help blind people live a more normal live. But that cat CAN catch
mice...LOL...so do some mouse traps, and they don't cop attitudes.
I hope you know I'm just playing around here, I think all animals have a
great purpose in life.
OH BTW, DOGS RULE AND CATS DROOL! *LMAO*
Hey BP thanks for the great dog art! BTW, I like you self-portrait. I
think you should just leave it be. *S*
