Well, of course I do. I have three of them.

I prefer dogs over cats as they have proven loyalty and ability to guard property against burglers.

Well, of course I do. I have three of them.
I have two now: a Sealpoint Ragdoll named Skuttles ( a variant of the Hymilayan, but without the pub nose ), who is my best friend and has been with me since 1997; and a recent arrival by name of Einstein, an orange and white tiger-stripe American shorthair. I "inherited" both of them from my granchildren. :)

My Sealpoint Ragdoll cat is about as loyal as any animal I have ever known, and Sturm-Ruger guards my property quite well. :D

I had a cat for most of my life until he died (of old age) last year, but I always prefered my dogs. They're just more responsive.

Yes, nobody gets past bandit :gundge:. Loyal, well, every time I go skating, guess who's there, Adrianna and Mika of course.

Cats groom themselves daily and bury theit sh*t, which makes them cleaner. Dogs may be taught not to sh*t on their owner's property, but will sh*t on other people's land.

One time, I caught my neighbore's dog wandering into my garden for a sh*t. He was caught right in the act, and I beat with a shovel it! Damn dog! Now if it's my dog, I'd probably let it roam freely to find a toilet outside my own yard.

I "inherited" both of them from my granchildren. :)

They have internet in retirement homes? Good to see some maturity here!

In Hong Kong, cats are toilet trained to flush their sh*t as 40-storey highrises of a concrete jungle have no available soft soil as their lavatory.

Huh? Whut meanest thou, oh evil one? ;)

Um ... perhaps that's why they invented "cat litter boxes?" Ya think??? :D

The HK lifestyle's too busy and the apartments are too cramped to have them. There's also no suitable places to bury them.

i cant stand cats, i was at a party bout 6 months ago and i was drinkin and was up allnight and went into the kitchen in the morning when a cat pounced on me, i almost instantly lost all sight in my left eye, and my right eye has never felt more pain. Turns out i have bad allergies and my eyes were messed up for 3 days. :( it hurt.

Well, you claimed to be a grandfather. You don't seem to act like one.

Keep a shovel handy, you might find it useful. LOL!

I was around when my cat was going to be put down by her past owner,so like a sucker i said id have her .Even though I want a dog,this cat over 8 years has proved to be a very good pet.

I'm gonna go for the classic, never get old response of "They taste nice"...

ok, it got old :s


No, I don't like cats, they are boring, grump and annoying...

Um ... use a pooper-scooper and flush the poop down the toliet. When you empty the entire litter box ( which you MUST do on occasion! ), pour the contents into a sturdy plastic bag and toss out with the rest of the trash. Yes? :)

Dogs may lick their balls and ass, but at least they don't cough out hair balls.

Ah! And how is a grandfather "suppose" to act, pray tell? :)

I have five children and seven grandchildren. :)

Cats rock!

The apartments are too cramped to afford the space for cat sh*t or the tray. With such a stressful lifestyle, those that can afford cats expect anything but handling their sh*t.

The way you post your words and the use of emoticons doesn't seem very mature.

You better not be some paedophile on the prowl! LOL!

LOL! Well ... ohhh-kayyy. I would have to say that's relatively cramped, even more so than my little place here. My condolences.

Exactly, and cause I am an Australian I have been brought up thinking cats = bad cause they destroy the environment here so much...

Define "mature." If anyone doesn't like the way I phrase things or the fact that I use emoticons, they don't have to read my posts ... or reply to them.

Are you always this insulting?

Exactly, and cause I am an Australian I have been brought up thinking cats = bad cause they destroy the environment here so much...

Feral cats rank amongst the possums and rabbits that destroy the NZ environment. Possums and rabbits devour so much of our native plants but cats have a greater appetite than possums when it comes to killing native birds.

Ya got some war stories to tell, grampa?

cats, cane toads, rabbits and goats are probably the worst in Australia.

Possums are native in Australia so the ecosystem is balanced for them...

I have always far prefered cats over dogs and currrently own two of them. One is just an average striped tabby with a sweet temper, and the other is a black devil cat that adores hiding under the stairs so he can attack the legs of anyone using them.

They are both desexed and both kept in at night to minimise impact on the native animals, not that there are many native animals in the middle of Brisbane.

Goats, wild pigs and deer are also problematic, but never as much as the rabbit. They even threaten the pastural farming economy by competing with lifestock for grazing.

The damn buggers are so robotic, you take your .22 and pop one. The rest would run away, then for a short while return to graze normally. Rabbits are like long-eared rats.

You obviously haven't met my grandfather. :D

If my grandfather is still around, he would have called me to attention and drilled me into a soldier. Pity how the Capt. had to succumb to lung cancer at such a young age.

I would love to hear about how he killed Japs in WWII!

Heh. My grandfather would put me to work on a farm if he could. He's an ornery old guy who's rough around the edges and loves to play jokes but works his ass off for his loved ones.

He was in the Navy during WWII, but I suspect that we're way off topic now, so I'll just stop there. :)

I would rather talk about grandparents and the War than about cats and dogs.

If you said USMC instead of Navy, I wonder if he was one of those commandoes that walked past my other grandfathers village at night after hitting some Jap targets.

I'm a dog person myself but I don't mind cats. The only problem is that cats don't seem to like me. I have met a few very nice cats but the vast majority seem fickle and aloof.

No, buuuuuuuut i like mexicans.

i hate cats because i have lost loads!! of pets to them and my sis`s son was blinded for a while and had to go have surgury cos of a damn cat so dont you say there cute and cudly , cats are viciouse

damn cats grrr :sniper:
:gundge:
:mp5:
:upyours:

a neighborhood cat scratched my car last night so at the moment im of the "death to all cats brigade"

Cats are fine for other people, but not for me. I’m not a pet person.

I'm not a cat person. I never have been, never will be.

Cats are alright. However, I've always had bad experiences with them...

...They always seem to run off and die on me. My first cat liked to go around the neighborhood, and one day, it got in a fight with a huge, white Persian cat. Needless to say, my cat didn't win. It died about two days after.

My last cat had problems we didn't know about when we bought it. Some stomach thing... We gave it back to the pet store, so I dunno if it died or not.

Love cats, but Troubles got run over and Stubbles had a fatal blood clot. :(

Dad doesn't want to get another one either. But they're the best pets ever.

I've got one cat aptly named Rocket. That's her, right here (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b24/cabrawest/.Rakete.jpg)
She's a bit of a fierce one really, but once you've properly introduced yourself (preferably by bribing her with food, goat's cheese if you have any), she can be quite attached and affectionate.
Otherwise this cat will try to hunt down everything in the neighbourhood, I saw her trying to pound on a duck the other day. That was ONE surprised duck, I can tell you :D

She looks almost exactly like Troubles! :D

I'd love to have a North American Cougar or a Black Panther but my wife won't let me. :( So we have allowed two black housecats to adopt us. :)

I don't like cats. I like Dogs.

I hate cats with a passion. Plus, I'm allergic. I've never seen what's "cute" about them.

Cats aren't my favorite animal, but I prefer them over dogs. ;)

I hate cats, pure and simple.

I prefer dogs over cats as they have proven loyalty and ability to guard property against burglers.

I agree. I do like cats, but apparently not well enough to have any.

Well, I think cats are hellspawn, filled with evil intentions and solely working for their own, selfish cause, doing everything it needs to have their wishes fulfilled, even if it is at the cost of another being.

Which is exactly why I like them so much I 'own' two myself.

Nah, cats are filthy vermin with few, if any, redeeming qualities.

I have found cats to be wiser than humans...after all, my cat sits around waiting to be fed and scratched, and if she doesn't get what she wants, she lets out a multi-syllable meow. She also bites and gets away with it, and she sleeps on nice fluffy pillows. She's a beautiful black and white tuxedo longhair who, unfortunately, was abused by her first family. She lived with my mom for a year and a half before my mom gave her to me.

And of course, if my cat's smart, my dog must be a genius, since she destroys everything, runs around like a maniac, chews on fingers and noses, barks like a goofball, and antagonizes the cat, and she always looks cute doing it. Of course, then again she has the advantage of being a Yorkie, so that explains the cuteness factor.

Exactly, and cause I am an Australian I have been brought up thinking cats = bad cause they destroy the environment here so much...

I don't know about that! They are capable of killing wildlife but they don't "destroy the environment". And they don't even kill wildlife if they have responsible owners. I live in Australia and have two cats and neither of them have ever killed anything larger than a fly... and maybe a few computer cords!

As for cats being unresponsive, grumpy or not loyal, my two Tonkinese (hence my name) are so responsive and friendly that it amazes me. They meet me at the door when I get home from work and chat about their day. One is the cuddliest animal that I have ever encountered and the other plays fetch better than any dog - she brings the item back every time and there's no wrestling to get it from her for the next throw.

I prefer Catgirls

But I suppose real cats can be great sometimes too, especially when they're young. This includes the big cats. :)

*Edit: And no, I don't prefer real cats in the same way that I like catgirls. Shame on anyone who thinks that way.

Well, of course I do. I have three of them.
Just for fun, it should be noted that John Ashcroft, former "Attorney General" and person who lost a candidacy in a race with a DEAD guy, is afraid of calico cats. Something to do with his interpretation of the presence of evil/"devil". Not very sound judgment, IMHO.

Yawn. Not that tired old spiel again. Remind me how decadence equals wisdom?

I recommend the use of shovels; beat 'em then bury 'em.
