Davkaus Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 You're going to have 7 cats? Or are those different animals? I currently have 3 (2 are mine, and a stray seems to have adopted me), I don't think I could handle anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have hated every cat I've ever met until my boyfriends dad had a stray refuse to leave their house a couple of years ago. Fattest hairiest cat I've ever seen, he gets fed well there and goes wondering in the night where I'm sure he gets fed by someone else as well because at last vet visit he was 17 pounds. His next visit is coming up and to save them having the vet lecture I've offered to help them take a couple of pounds off him by getting creative. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Don't trust someone who doesn't like dogs. Someone that doesn't like cats probably just hasn't had one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Don't actually have any pets but if I did it would be a cat. . Dogs are all evil and should be exterminated except for working dogs. And they should be worked harder the nasty little bleeders Edited May 26, 2016 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I don't get this strange polarisation. I like cats, but I don't hate dogs. I'm a little bit scared of them though, unless they are exceptionally friendly and well behaved. They are just too high maintenance, and as I've said before, the absolute deal breaker is picking up their shit. Never, no way, no how. But there's a separate thread for dogs.

jackbauer24 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 You know how you can't stand the stupid person at the office who brown noses the boss pathetically, who has to react to every suggestion in an overtly negative or positive way and then requires loads of work and attention just to keep them happy? They make a noise all day over everything and don't just chill the f*ck out. That's the dog. On the other side of the room is the self sufficient person who couldn't give a crap about what's going on unless it effects them directly. They don't require any attention but will appreciate it when someone pays them a compliment (as long as you don't go overboard). As long as the respect is mutual, they will work well with you and strike up a solid friendship. That's the cat. I don't like stupid, loud, annoying attention seekers at work. So I don't look for that in a pet at home! A dog is so stupid it does tricks and panders to get the exact same rewards a cat does. A dog is so stupid it can't even go for a walk, get clean or even sort out its own sh*t without help from a human. A dog is so stupid it reacts to the postman even though he comes to the house at the same time every day. A dog is stupid. Yeah, I might be a cat person... I can respect independence, cynicism and laziness far more than stupidity! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2016 A couple of Pratchett quotes on cats... 'In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this' 'If cats looked like frogs we'd realise what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember'. Suffice to say the man liked cats. Even if he could notice their flaws... he describes a cat in one of his books as 'a scarred ball of inventive malignancy'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Our cat sits outside bashing the front door like the SPG are entering a terrorists living room and then you open the door and he sits there all nonchalant like , has a good stretch , licks his butt and then wanders in after he feels he's made you wait long enough .... If dogs could master that rather than acting like me when I see naked lesbians on the TV then they might have a shot at ruling the world but until then cats are still masters of the universe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer dogs but I still like Cats. Might get one in the near future actually. Would prefer a dog, but living/working arrangements mean it would be unfair. A cat will be a nice compromise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really serene, beautiful dogs who never bark much or bite people, despite having been mistreated. Edited May 27, 2016 by maqroll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
