Cat women turn me off
clifff...@yahoo.com
attracted to "cat guys" (guys who like/love cats and
have them as pets). I thought I'd drop in and comment.
First of all, I'm a guy who loves babies (most of 'em
anyway; I ain't too crazy about bratty, ugly ones), puppies...
and cute things in general; far more than most men, I think.
So don't peg me as a cold type person. But cats....I don't hate
them like some people do, and some of them are kind of cute,
but, I mean, who could really be attracted to something that
considers a big, filthy rat filet mignon?
When I was single, one of the big things that would immediately
be a mark against a possible mate would be if she started talking
about "my cats" <shudder>. Cat women sometimes even have cat-like
mannerisms, and they let their cats jump onto their kitchen counters
and everywhere else, dropping cat hairs into the food they and
their guests eat <yuck>. Dogs are smarter and sweeter, and they
don't act creepy. You may now return to regular programming.

dog lovers. I am not a big fan of dogs. They slobber and are too obedient.
Cats on the other hand are beautiful, independent, and intelligent. I have
to wonder why that if you hate cats so much you'd post to a newsgroup for
cat lovers other than to troll and draw attention to yourself.

Ummmmm...dogs look at a rat as filet mignon too. In fact there are a lot
of nasty things dogs will eat that cats will turn their noses up at.
I've never seen a cat eat it's own shit from the backyard, or raid the
litterbox and eat cat poop. This is a common behavior of dogs, who then
make a point of finding you and licking your face. Dogs also are prone
to rolling around in nasty things (I know one who never fails to roll
around on dead fish he finds when he's at a lake.) Cat's don't do that.
I think that next time you may want to think this subject out a little
more before you post and guarantee you look silly.

you are posting here, Cliff. I personally think *many* people who
prefer dogs are insecure and need an animal that they can control, or
need to have a ferocious-looking animal with them to make up for their
own shortcomings. (Do you drive a big, noisy, pickup truck, by any
chance?) "Cat people" as you call them, have enough confidence to care
for an animal who is independent and highly intelligent, and who
doesn't immediately come slobbering and whining to you when called. Who
wants to walk behind their animal picking up steamy piles of poop in
public? God, that's gross. I don't hate dogs; don't get me wrong - some
are very sweet, but I would never own one. And I would never date a guy
who owns one.

cats and cat people, buddy. I love dogs too, but I can't have them
because of my apartment's rules. I find cats are excellent company, and
when was the last time you found a self-cleaning dog?

because we live in apartments and i think its wrong to subject dogs to
that, esp. the breeds that I would be interested in having (ie big goofy
dogs) And, since *I* handle the cat cleanup duties, if we get a dog, it
will be hubby who does the poop duty, when he decides he's ready for
that, then we'll see :)

LOL, never did much for me. I remember when I got the first cat, a woman I
knew said "You've got a Cat!". She hated cats. Then when I got the second
cat, my reputation was shot.

of posting on specifically 'cats NG's, except* for the obvious reason to
troll bait. However, that said, I have to say that many 'dogs' turn me off.
Cats are very clean, low maintenance, independent and mysterious and often
beautiful, which is part of the reason some cats and kitten intrigue me so
much. But mannnny dogs smell plain awful IMO, and are equally loud, and can
be often aggressive if not socialized and many aren't. Trust me I've had too
many neighbors that let them run loose and/or kept them as yard oriments.
To each his own. But I wouldn't be so narrow minded as to say I'd never
date a guy that had a dog or dogs. I think you can tell a lot about a person
by how they treat/ love their animals, family, and friends. Nuff said.

Yeah, there's a huge difference between picking up steamy piles of poop in
public, and doing so in the privacy of your own home!
.... er, what now?
I like some dogs and some cats. To be honest, though, an adult dog is more
likely to catch my attention than an adult cat. Kittens and puppies are, of
course, both so adorable that I can't resist either of them.

Savoury macaroni with peas
cooking time: 15 mins
You will need for 4 servings: (or two hungry people!)
4 oz quick cooking elbow length macaroni
seasoning
medium size can tomatoes
4 oz shelled prawns or shrimps
shake of garlic salt
to garnish:
large packet frozen peas
1. Put the macaroni into 2 pints boiling salted water. Cook for 7 minutes
from the time the liquid comes to the boil: strain.
2. Meanwhile, heat the tomatoes with the prawns and seasoning; cook the
peas.
3. Tip the strained macaroni into the tomato mixture, toss together and
serve on a hot dish, bordered with cooked peas.
To vary: used diced ham instead of prawns.
This is from a cookery book I was given when I married in the late 70's
called "500 recipes for working wives." LOL.
It isn't very adventurous by today's standards, but it might be quite nice
to eat 70's food again just to see what was considered "up to the minute"
then.

A cat would probably say "Don't knock it till you've tried
it", and I'm sure humans eat things cats find equally
repulsive. (Anyway, FYI cats seldom eat rats if there is
other prey avaiable - especially not the kind usually
described as "filthy", although California "tree" or "fruit"
rats are sometimes an exception.)

You and I seem to be of the same mind! I love dogs, but
have never had one, simply because my tastes run to breeds
like Rottweilers and Old English Sheep Dogs and Irish Wolf
Hounds - all of which, IMO, require a big yard with plenty
of space to run.

Poor thing doesn't realize that the "turn off" is intentional on the women's
part. I'm guessing some of them don't even care much for cats, but anything
to dissuade a loser.

Oh, yes, lots of guys prefer cats. We've always had both dogs and
cats, and my son *adores* our cat, Hobo. He has even taken to
sleeping on the living-room couch to be near him in case he (Hobo) has
a diabetic episode during the night! When I volunteered to work with
the cats at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah last spring, he came
along to be my chauffeur and "bodyguard." He was a bit ho-hum about
the deal but pitched in to help. Didn't take him long to become
attached to *all* the kitties. We set aside a day to visit the Grand
Canyon (he'd never been west of the Mississippi) but as the day
approached, he decided to veto it -- it would take too much time away
from the cats!! Yup, turned down the Grand to work with the
kitties - a devoted "cat-man" there!

have cats she'll quickly say I have a dog and don't like cats. That usually
ends the conversation. It seems that the dateable women want no part of a

they want something that is obedient, not that bright, and slobbers. I hope
I can find that one woman for me out there at some point which loves cats

Volunteer at a shelter. Where I volunteer, there are about 50+ cat
volunteers, maybe 3 of them are men. Lots of cat women! My friend (female)
who is a feral TNR trapper, has about 10 cats in her house at all times, was
just complaining today how she will never find a man who will understand
about the cats. She is also gorgeous and manages to be perfectly made up at
all times, which I don't understand *how* she does it, out there trapping at
barns and stuff.

Internet personals - Yahoo or match.com That's how I met DH. We wrote
each other for a couple months - sometimes 2-3 times per day, before we

There are a lot of cat women in this group, so why don't we do what he is

I didn't know. I have my preferences set to not show read messages, so I
don't have to wade through all the old stuff to get to the new stuff. When
someone doesn't quote at least a portion of the text, I have to go back and
show old messages just to see who this person was replying to. When it's a
really long thread, it's still hard to see to which post he was replying.
Very annoying.

Another thing is, I have my posts ordered by latest post, not

Dogs eat there own shit. Dogs eat other dog's shit. So do a lot of kids -
well there own shit and dog shit and even cat shit. You find that
attractive? Ever had a dog lick your face? Do you know where that tongue
has been? Kids projectile vomit all over your lovely clean walls. You find
that cute?

Dogs roll in their own shit and then come inside and roll on your carpet,
your couch and you. Cats don't do that. Cats are incredibly neat and clean
animals.

Do you have the oprion of showing the heirachy in a subwindow? With
the new Google it has messed up a bunch of newsreaders so that
sometimes people can't quote text.
-L.
-L.
I have a Basenji mix - purebred basenji will clean themselves
like a cat - mine does also. I am forever having trouble with her
ingesting too much hair. But she does need a bath regularly - whatever
she is mixed with is El Stinko. She doesn't bark when she hunts - in
fact, most of the time she is completely silent. She will bark at
intruders, though - not a bad dog, at all, but highly independent -
much more so than a cat. Not a dog that likes to cuddle.

I think the problem is guys who hate cats, or don't like cats. I'd
never trust one.
I have a Border Collie mix that herds things too - including me. Can
be very annoying! We clal her "Old Granny" because she wobbles around
the house barking at everybody. ;)

I was looking for an option like that, but I couldn't find one. I'm using
Outlook Express. I know Google has messed things up a bit. I'm guessing
Google is trying to save space by not showing quoted text.

you can get a free account from Individual.Net. If one posts through Google

So what if a woman has a dog or is a dog person. Does that make her a bad
person? Plenty of my cat friends also have dogs. I'm also friends with
some of the dog volunteers at the shelter. They are just as dedicated and
loving as the cat people. My husband was not particularly a cat person, but
that didn't turn me away. I just let him meet my cat (yes, there was a time
when I only had one cat) and observed how he interacted with her. Once we
moved in together, *he* was the one who wanted to adopt a kitten!

Not the proiblem. Reading and posting at the site keeps one from
having to download anything, thus avoiding worms viruses, etc. that
often take advantage of newserver's weakneses, like Outlook Express,
etc. When everyone else got hit by that worm a year or so ago, I never
did.

It's actually not bad - and it shows the heirarchy so that if someone
can't quote text, you can see which post is in reply to which. The new
version is much improved albeit full of bugs. Once they get it
figured out, it should be as good as any newserver, without the
aforementioned risks. Thanks for the tip about individual.net, btw.

No, it's Usenet, an entity unto itself. Google is just one way to access
it, and they have taken over from DejaNews the task of Keeper of the Usenet
Archives. There are probably thousands of news servers out there. Most
people use the one provided by their ISP (Comcast, Verizon, etc) or there
are alternative servers like Individual.Net. You can use a number of
different newsreaders to read and post to Usenet. Some examples are Outlook
Express or Free Agent.

I prefer to use OE just because I'm so used to it. A lot of people don't
like it because it's Microsoft and can be vulnerable to viruses if you
aren't careful. I've never gotten a virus because I do not download
attachments from the ng's and am always up-to-date on my antivirus software.

How come? I know that *some* of them want to hide posts for future
reference - for nefarious reasons, but others simply don't want their public
ramblings to be archived - with no ulterior motives attached. After a
while - often a short while, you get to know which side of the fence they're

No, it's a Usenet newsgroup. Some people access it through
Google, but you can get it directly through your ISP's
news-server, or you can subscribe to another one (some are

I've never tried posting through Google, but it doesn't seem
to prevent others who do from quoting the messages to which
they're replying. I think the problem is with your browser
settings, not how you access the group - if you go to
"preferences" on your browser, you can tell it to quote the
original message - yours apparently doesn't have the box
checked that will automatically do so.

Obviously you have had very little experience with
newsgroups! Threads are more likely than not to go
"off-topic" anyway, but when the initial post was so
obviously by a troll, you're lucky you didn't find yourself
in the middle of a recipe exchange (which is how we usually
deal with trolls, here).

There you've lost me! Who or what is "Cliff"? (The reason
for quoting the messages when you respond is so others
beside yourself have some glimmer of an idea what you're
talking about.)
