After considerable discussion with my cat, I have discovered that all cats are french - well he claims that this is true.

On the other hand, having owned several dogs, I have noticed that they have many English qualities. (Though dogs are far less conversational than cats, so I am just assuming this).

My cat is always mean and pissed off. I'm not sure whether this means that she is French, however...

Wtf?

My cat is always mean and pissed off. I'm not sure whether this means that she is French, however...

But if you know her, and are polite, I am sure she can be extremely charming, which militates for her being french. No?

considering cats are lazy, only hunt rare and very messy prey even when there is a colony of mice living in the shed, and also considering they are very proud and expect to be fed regularly ...and of course think they are better than everyone else ..... yes, they sound french.

However not all dogs are english i don't think. Some are obedient and loyal, and can be playful but can easily defend them selves and strut there stuff when they need to, thus making them english, but some are very lazy and sh*t everywhere aswell as regularly terrorising the neighbours ... they must be the americans...

Maybe that is just the "chav" element of the dog world.

My Cat doesn't smell, and he doesn't give up... Two very non French qualities

What about those really big, fat cats? The ones that are like one of those... waddyacall'em? matrons! Surely they're German?

does he sleep for most of the day and howl until he is fed??? ... point proved, admittedly he must have been to england since he doesn't smell anymore

Maybe those cats are from alsace-lorraine?

nah, fat cats must b american, german cats would hunt in packs and organise their day efficiently as to alllow them to hunt and sleep to full effect.

Actually, don't dogs eat pretty much any filthy thing they come across, as long as it can be chewed and swallowed? That's a fairly French trait...

Where do goldfish come into all of this? I'd like to propose that they are Swedish, for no reason other than that I like the idea.

AHAAAHAAA! This discussion is so stupid!!

Anyway, what about Siamese cats? They don't look very French, and their accent is quite different, in my opinininion. And I'm not French by the way.
Oh ravwah! (I don't know how to spell 'goodbye' in French...) :headbang:

... strange topic...

Anyways... my three cats are not French... I think... My oldest cat, Sassy, is very bitchy, and she whines very often, but when she wants something, she won't give up. She's American. :p

My next oldest cat, Saphire, is big, but tough, and will poke around and provoke Sassy into hissing at her... I guess she's Russia.

Hobbes, my youngest cat, just explores, and lets Sassy hiss at her without a care and lets Saphire play with him... he also seems to hate cows. He's Polish. :D

Where do goldfish come into all of this? I'd like to propose that they are Swedish, for no reason other than that I like the idea.

Um...personally, I think goldfish are fairly American - I mean, outside a tank, they grow big and fat in a number of seconds (well, days) and they just eat and sleep. I'm not being racist, but I think America is the fattest country on the planet. Also, they always leave their mouths open - surely this is from laziness, or sheer unbearable weight of their fattened jaw? And don't go saying "It's because they drink water," because that's just annoying.

Well duh. Goldfish are clearly the Belgians. As we all know the swedish are some type of flounder.

Lol.

Nice one!

I've never thought that much about it. My cat's just black & white and fluffy. What nationality would that be?

You are all wrong.....

Cat have no nationality, they are loyal only to the Cat race. They are here to watch us and report back on our activities while conducting strange psychological experiments on us.

Proof?

How many times has a cat demanded that you open a door for it, only to demand that it be let back in again 30 seconds later and then repeat the demands for the next 20 minutes?

And yet, how many times have you opened a door to find a cat on the other side of it and thought to your self "how on earth did it get there? I didnt open the door for it...."

Obviously they are capable of transporting themselves to any location they desire and the whole door opening thing is just another of their experiments.

You want more?

How often have you woken up in the night to find a cat 2 inches from your face with a strange look in its eyes, as if it was about to do something diabolical to you in your sleep?

How often have you seen a cat sitting stock still staring at a wall for no apparent reason? Did you not think that there is a hidden observation point behind the wall paper and the cat is reporting in to its superiors.

How often have you seen a cat walk across a computer keyboard in apparantly random fashion? It's not random, they are sending coded massages via the electro-magnetic emissions of the monitor created by the patterns of text on the screen.

The cats are here, they are watching, waiting, waiting for the moment to come when they will over throw us, enslave us all and take their place as the supreme lifeform on the planet!

Muahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!

I would agree completely.

Cats are very much like the French.
Very vain, very proud...both are very independent, rather enjoy the torment of small furry creatures, and smell a little bit like urine.
Now, the French look at us Americans, and generally disdain us for what we do, and how we act.
Exactly the same as most cats.

The English on the other hand...

What are a dogs qualites?

Loyalty..
Steadfast companionship...
Shedding on the carpet...

The english are basically a bunch of easy going people, once they wind down a bit..much like a dog.
The English have stuck by America, more or less...for a long while now..no matter what kind of rotten crap we pull on the entire world.
If thats not steadfast loyalty, baby..I dont know what is!

Also..

The English will eat nearly anything...so will most dogs...
(Okay..cheap shot, I know...but "spotted dick"...please..thats not food)

Oh...and the bad teeth thing= doggy breath..but that too, is a cheap shot.

I assume you know that spotted dick is a kind of spongey pudding. Anyway, doesn't America have the 'Roadkill Cafe', where they'll cook anything you run over? Mind you we do eat liver so you may have a point. :D

I havent hard of this "Roadkill Cafe", and Im wondering how they stand up to health inspections...

But...im sure that some Redneck, somewhere is probably eating small rodents, so.....*shrug*.

As for Spotted Dick...yah I know its dessert like..but isnt it made with suet, or something.

Black Pudding....ew.

Baked Beans on toast?

No thanks.

I havent hard of this "Roadkill Cafe" -snip-

Try typing it into google, if you have a strong stomach. It certainly put me off food for life.

Are German shepherds English too?

I have a family of cats, 3 to be exact. A mother,son, and daughter. The son Loki is neutered ,spends his time eating, sleeping, with occasional bursts of manic activity like tormenting his sister and mother but not much else,what do you expect, he's frustrated. I guess that makes him a French-Canadian separatist?? The mother,Annie was the eqiuvalent of a teenage mother and remains a quiet, skinny little runt that i hardly ever see,American trailer trash, maybe, and the daughter a long haired little beauty is always wanting to be petted by anybody, the little slut,i guess that would make her don't know..any nationality, after all there are sluts in every nation,no :)

If all the above were deep fried and served with syrup you'd eat ANYTHING!! :D :D

I have yet to see 60-year old englishmen attempting to mount every female within eyesight.

Nor englishmen licking their nether regions.

Though I have a suspicion one hides under my table and tries to steal my food.

No way, cats are Iranian. and dogs are either Swedish or Armenian.

i can't help but reply to this thread. I never thought that cats can be french. just so funny.

I think that seagulls must be like the Allies in WW2. Always shitting on people which is like the Allies, who were bombing the Germans for the whole war.

Then again the Axis bombed people as well, so maybe they were a different kind of seagull... ;)

I've never thought that much about it. My cat's just black & white and fluffy. What nationality would that be?
Sounds like it's part panda from the coloration...so that would make it Chinese.

As my cat makes all kinds of aggressive noises, but a soon as a stray kitten that is less than a quarter her size appears she runs away and hides. She also says no a lot, so I guess she is probably French of Italian descent.

well fine but

what about POODLES?

and all those other foofy little dogs

My cat used to stare up at the wall, I thought it was very strange. But after observing her do this time after time, i finall figured it out. There was a little newt living behind the picture on the wall.

Since cats only experience vision when things move, she was keyed on the tiny movements of the little newt.

But anyway, cats already rule the world. they just have the good grace (or good sense) of letting us think we do.

Cats are Egyptian. They act like royalty, which they were considered back then. They don't think that just because Bastet doesn't take priority in the world today that they shouldn't.

I'm not so sure about dogs, though. Dogs are global.

Where I'm from, Roadkill cafe has closed down, but they were a themed place like Hard Rock Cafe or Rainforest Cafe...They served things like "Cat tails" (hot dogs)

Anyway, cats suck. that's all I have to add.

nah, fat cats must b american, german cats would hunt in packs and organise their day efficiently as to alllow them to hunt and sleep to full effect.


Congratulations on making a stupid thread really, really stupid.

My cat comes from a strange cat planet (Catonia (they aren't very original)).
And speaks several thousand languages all of which sound just like meow to us humans

The English will eat nearly anything...so will most dogs...
(Okay..cheap shot, I know...but "spotted dick"...please..thats not food)
I know. Take a look.

It looks like a chocolate chip cookie that was brutally attacked, peed itself, and then bled all over the plate.

Goldfish and German Shepards are definatly German.

Think about Klaus from American Dad with his German accent and constant harassment he gives the alien.

Cats aren't powerful, and aren't smart enough to rule the world. Dogs can easily take us over, but they aren't traitorous like the cats.

Unless you use the the British name for German Sherpard : Alsatian.

Brief history: During WW1, and WW2 the Germany wasn't very popular in the UK(suprise). So they gave many german sounding names "British names"

I know a british royal family member also changed his name in a similar manner, can't remember who of the top of my head.

Do the french try to steal fish?

nah, fat cats must b american, german cats would hunt in packs and organise their day efficiently as to alllow them to hunt and sleep to full effect.
Unless they get their habits from pre-WWI germany, in which case they'd fit right in.

My cat tells me you are all out to get me, i think, my catonian to english dictionary is a bit out of date, but i'm WATCHING ye

I find dogs to be far more conversational than cats.

Anyone who's ever talked to a dog has seen it perk up its ears and/or cock its head adorably. Dogs listen to us.

Dogs tell us vocally when a stranger lurks near home, or if he (the dog) doesn't approve of a visitor, or if the dog wants to go outside to tinkle (hehe)... dogs have ways of letting us know. Dogs are wonderfully suited to being people's pets... My dog Mollie has managed to learn (or at least basically understand) about 15 words/phrases, and she acts in her best interests according to each of them.

lol, i don't mean to spam, but i had to share this... this comes from my country's description:

"The Insufferable Jerkdom of Frangland is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare."

ROFL!

Okay; The Chinese eat the French, the English are the bitches of the Goldfish, and chavs are somewhere between Goldfish and assholes?

Or did I miss something?

Cats are Egyptian. They act like royalty, which they were considered back then. They don't think that just because Bastet doesn't take priority in the world today that they shouldn't.

I'm not so sure about dogs, though. Dogs are global.

Cats are definitely Egyptian. However, I can see why one might compare them to the French- they have that high brow manner that oftentimes is compared with French people.

Yes, true...but they act far more Egyptian than French, and you'd have to be historically/culturally blind and deaf to miss it.

Cats aren't powerful, and aren't smart enough to rule the world. Dogs can easily take us over, but they aren't traitorous like the cats.

I dunno, i have seen plenty of large dogs get their arses kicked by a cat. I have seen people get their arses kicked by a cat. Those claws aren't for making clacking noises on the kitchen floor or digging, like dog claws are. If you have ever been on the business end of a cat's claw, you know what im talking about.

Put it this way, i don't have to be powerful to exert enough pressure on your b-alls to completely control you.

And the cats are so slick, they manipulate you without your even realizing it. dogs aren't subtle at all. Tongue hanging out, nose in your crotch. (i still have that america's funniest home video in my head of a dog pushing a rock with his nose and the narrator telling us what the dog was thinking--'pushin a rock, pushin a rock, pushin a rock..." hahaha)

And cats are far more civilized than dogs. Any animal that leaves piles of poop around for anyone to step in wouldn't be capable of ruling anything very well.

Cats can just sit on thier throne and give you that LOOK that you know if you don't pet her, she will leave poop on your pillow.

(MOST) Cats are sophisticated, prideful, intelligent creatures.

(MOST) Dogs are loyal, loveable, and stupid creatures.


I'm not European, but I'm not quite sure I understand the nationality comparison. Cats are French? Maybe. Dogs are English? I don't really think so. I think they're more American.

Most dogs aren't stupid, although I've run into a few. But I've also run into dogs that are more intelligent than your average person.

new zealanders are definately whales....have you seen how many fish they eat?
my cat tells me that it comes from miaow purr...it sounds like somewhere distant....maybe Asia?

Also, they always leave their mouths open - surely this is from laziness, or sheer unbearable weight of their fattened jaw? And don't go saying "It's because they drink water," because that's just annoying.

Such 'gulping' constitutes respiration. That is, goldfish and other so-called double-pump ventilators draw water into the oral cavity; with closure of the mouth, the pressure differential impels it across the gills and out the flared now-flared opercula (hence alternative reference to the 'buccal pump' system).

Most dogs aren't stupid, although I've run into a few. But I've also run into dogs that are more intelligent than your average person.
True, some dogs are extremely smart... but their intelligence is more instinctual than say, humans or cats. Example: A dog is trapped in a fenced in yard. Instinctively, it WILL eventually find a way over or under the fence. (You think different, you're kidding yourself, folks.) It will use a process of elimination to do so. Yes, that shows some intelligence, but it is a primitive version of it. Any other form of intelligence is usually one introduced by us, the meddling, so-called superior species.

(Note: I am not claiming to be an expert on either dogs or cats. This is what I have found to be "true", and I admit I may be very, very wrong. My apologies to the dog people in this forum.)
