Cat haters

[Greenday]

Blaquekatt made a very valid point that there are tons of irresponsible dog owners who let their dogs do the same business as irresponsible cat owners do. So I think judgement should stay fair with both animals.

Irresponsible dog owners get their pets put down. If my dog was running around wild, it'd get taken to the pound in a heartbeat. No similar action for cats which makes no sense. I don't have a problem with indoor cats. But the whole moody crap is still applicable to every indoor cat I've met.

Gee, bet ya can't guess which I prefer?

I adore all cats, never met one I hate or even "dont like much." Prefer 'em to most humans.

Riley is all love, and Morgan.....Morgan is special and her mommy loves her

I use cats as a barometer for my social circle....if you *hate* cats, I doubt you and I will be close buds (just something I noticed along the way) If you're a dog person, cat-tolerater, then we will get along great. Thank Bast my bf is a cat person....love me, love my cats. Don't like my cats, there's the door

I always had you pegged as a llama fan, Cat

[Cat]

Actually, the bf I were thinking of getting Alpacas.....

talk to your local animal control then-around here any animal(dog, cat, bird, tarantula-yes our pound had a stray tarantula once) not on a leash(or under demonstrable voice command-for dogs only) while outside will get taken to the shelter, our "leash law" includes cats-and the owner is fined $50 1st offense, $100 2nd offense , $200 3rd etc-which is why most outdoor cat "owners" just get another cat-either don't want to pay the fine, don't care enough about the animal to actually be bothered by it, or just figure "meh got hit by a car/eaten by a coyote/died, time to get a new kitten" One of the pages I previously linked to has a stat of: only 3% of "pet" cats let roam outside that are picked up by animal control are ever claimed by their owners-so somewhere is taking in a bunch of cats.

Stop making my weirdness plausible!!!!!!

I don't *hate* cats, I'd just rather have a dog. The issues I have with cats is that I find it gross that they walk across kitchen countertops after they've been pawing and scratching in their litterbox. After I got rid of my cat, I noticed little brown pawprints on the white surfaces where she would jump up, and gag at the thought of her shitty little paws touching everything.

And dogs tend to eat their own poop and lick their junk and then give you big, wet, sloppy kisses or lick your palms and other body parts.

I still wonder about the rumor that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's.

It's cleaner because they deposit all the shit-germs onto unsuspecting humans

That's an urban legend.

I love my dogs, but they eat shit, for god's sake. There's no way their mouths are cleaner than mine.

I don't allow them to lick me or anyone else. It's dominating behaviour, and they know better.

I love my 2 cats.

I'm also allergic to cats . (Nothing major, just some sniffles and my eyes get itchy and red).

My boy is a poofball and doesn't like to be held or cuddled. However, if I'm lying on the couch or sitting in the recliner, I have a friend who will cuddle against me or lies on my head (sorta - he lies on the top of the recliner so it looks like he's lying on my head).

My girl is a "talker". She meows a lot. Especially when she wants me to pet her. I'm also the only one she wants to have pet her. I'm her Momma. Took me 24 hours of labor for the two of them.

Boy was left at the shelter in a box with the rest of his litter mates. The girl was left behind, locked in the apartment her humans had lived in, but then they just up and left her.

They are both darling in their own way, and I love them both.

Well I'm certainly not a cat hater...I have two, a boy and a girl. And my girl is a talker too.....jeeeeebus she never shuts up

That must be a female cat thing. Shelby never shuts up. If she's not meowing she's doing that kitty chirp thing, it's cute.

Yeah like a twirbling sound? That's the only way I can think of to describe it. She does it constantly. Her mother did it too. Freaky cat

Cats do that by clicking their teeth. Its a way of hunting. Creeped me out first time I heard Thelma doing it to a fly she saw.

Oh you're talking about nattering.....yeah that's weird. But what my cat does is twirble or chirp....I can't really describe it accurately, but it's like a purr with vocals.
