I hate cats

[JPRoy392]

As you can tell, I am bored today.

First of all, I am allergic to them. That can be part of the reason. They make me sneeze, my eyes tear, and I get itchy all over.

Secondly, they don't like water! What kind of friggin' mammal doesn't like water? A stupid one! "Excuse me Mr. Tubbins, it's time for you bath."
"No thank you, I'll just lick myself clean!"

Thirdly, cats are not dogs. You can play with and they are your best friend. They give you unconditional love until you spade or neuter them. Then they forget and forgive you after a couple of days. Dogs are fun. Cats are not. They would rather you clean their dirty, disgusting, germ-filled litter box than to have anything to do with you.

Forthly, cats cough up hairballs from cleaning themselves. And then they leave these hairballs in your shoes for you!

The one good thing about cats is that they make good Chinesse food.

...and that is my rant for the day.

[PJB]

Not to mention they'll scratch you if you pick them up and spin them around by their whiskers.

[parksie]

I like cats!

For almost all of my adult life I have had at least one
cat. I currently have 3, and yes, if you're a fascist you
won't like cats. Just goes to show how discerning cats are.

BTW, I have 3 dogs as well. Big, rambunctious, slobbery
things: Scottish Deerhound, Terrier/JR, and blonde.

[PJB]

my last girlfriend had 8 cats, i will never live with another cat in my life

[barrk]

I like cats too....but...my husband told me I could get a cat if I found a good divorce lawyer...bottom line is I'd rather have my husband than a cat...so I like dogs instead.

[JPRoy392]

I have a dog. He is a mutt. Part German Sheppard and Border Collie. My fiance and I got him from a shelter. People in the U.S. (idiots as I call them) insist on getting "pure-bread" dogs. I have heard of people paying as much as $1500 for a dog! Mutts make the best dogs and everyday hundreds are euthanized because shelters cannot handle them all. I hate people that "insist" on having pure-breads. If you go to a shelter and there is a pure-bread puppy there, than good for you. I just can't stand that people spend all that money for a pet.

My dog rules. He is a big, stupid, fun-loving, socialable addition to our family. He hates cats too.

[barrk]

I have a chocolate lab. She is pure bred and I did pay $150 dollars for her. I had three small children and my husband worked nights when we got her. Labs have a reputation of being very gentle around children and are also very smart. She has been a great watchdog and companion for ten years. She was worth every penny we paid for her and I don't think it was a stupid decision at all. Mutts do have their virtues too but I don't think paying to get what you want is stupid...if you can afford it.

JP, you might enjoy the following link. I've worked with
these guys before and they are neat.

[parksie]

PJB - would have been heaven for me!

Katie - Yeah, it's your choice. I'd probably pay for a purebred if I wanted one - most of the dogs people I know have are just whatever they got because they liked them :)

[PJB]

believe me it wasn't

[JPRoy392]

You're right, Katie. If you can afford it, then do so. I just hate the fact that there are so many animals put to death everyday because they are not purebred. $150 for that lab is not bad at all. I am glad that your dog is such an important part of your family. Check out the prices for purebreds now adays. For $150 they may let you pet the dog, and that is it.

All labs make good dogs. They are a good breed.

[barrk]

Yep...she's a good kid!

[Benjamin]

I've got 4 cats, and 2 dogs...

the last week my cat bit me.... :mad:
I can still see the marks on my wrist.... :(

sammy(one of my dogs) is a 1/2 pecanese 1/2 pomeranian... I think he is a show dog.... I've seen others like him for like $500+ (we got him free, because we rescued him from the trash at a taco restraunt)

and the other is really stupid..... I am not sure of her breed, my dad found her when he was at work...


I have a few pictures of my 1st dog(sammy)

http://dewrenn.virtualave.net/sammy1.jpg
http://dewrenn.virtualave.net/sammy2.jpg

on one of the pictures he looks high because he just ate some catnip....

I know it's not supposed to affect dogs, but he is not a normal dog..... he is really smart.... but he bites too much.... but his mouth is small, so it doesn't hurt... :p

[HarryW]

Well, I hate (most) small yappy-type dogs, they shout all the time and it gets on my tits. Cats are okay, I have a cat.

I don't believe any of you that say your dogs are smart. Especially labradors :rolleyes: They are many things, but definitely not smart. Cute, yes. Lovable, yes. Gentle, yes. Smart, no. My dad has a labrador, and it is probably the stupidest dog I have ever come across. She's still a great dog though :)

[Benjamin]

I hate it when people say their dogs are smart too... but mine really is...

I can't explain it.. it's just some of the things he does...

[HarryW]

When I meet your dog and I can have a conversation with it in English, then I'll believe it's clever.

[PJB]

i'd think it was even more clever if it spoke in Latin

Harry, I'm with you. When Dennis' dog has a conversation
with you, I'll say you're intelligent.

Now HORSES, on the other hand...dumber than turkeys.

[Benjamin]

FINALLY DerFarm told a joke that included me or something that I Like that was not directed toward me!!!

[barrk]

Harry...how come it's okay to say you're Dad's dog is stupid but not to say mine is smart? You either can or cannot measure an animal's intelligence. You can't have it both ways! If you measure intelligence by whether you can speak English (or Latin) then most people in the world don't measure up!

You're slipping DerFarm!

[Benjamin]

English (or Latin) than most people in the world don't measure up!


not even me... :rolleyes:

[HarryW]

You can measure a dog's intelligence, to some rudimentary level, and none of them are smart :)

[Benjamin]

mine is

[PJB]

what about a dog who could juggle?

[HarryW]

Do you have a dog that can juggle?

I'd say it was well trained.

[PJB]

no, but if i saw one juggling like encyclopedias or something i would think it was smart

[barrk]

I choose to delude myself...I think my dog is smart...she would agree with me I'm sure if she could talk...in Latin OR English.

[HarryW]

I'd think it was smart if it was reading them at the same time.

[Benjamin]

my dog can hold and drag things with his "hands"....
if I tried enough, am sure I could teach him how to juggle... :rolleyes:

[Benjamin]

baark:

my dog is modest, yours isn't... so, nanee nanee nanee(wait isn't this last one sposed to be a "boo boo"?;)) :p

;)

[PJB]

yes, if the dog was reading them it would be rather impressive as long as it was juggling them at the same time, otherwise it's just another dumb juggling dog

[barrk]

BTW PJB...my dog likes cheese...does that prove she's smart?

[PJB]

ok, so barrk has a smart dog whether it can juggle and read or not

[Benjamin]

I forgot to mention that, my dog LOVES CHEESE!!!

my dad has to buy a 3lb block of american cheese every 2 weeks.......

thats the only thing my dog will eat.... he even prefers cheese over ham, and steak...

[barrk]

PJB It's Katie please...not barrk

1. Cats dont need walks
2. Cats dont need there **** cleared up
3. Cats dont leave hair all over your bed
4. Cats dont cost as much
5. Cats are usally lighter thus it aint to much of a pain when jump up
6. Cats dont howl in the night
7. Cats dont slobber
8. Cats dont eat you shoes
9. Cats dont bark
10.Cats dont chase cars
11.Cats dont chase people!

cats are better... a dog might be a mans best friend, but dats only coz men are dirty too...

ps. like the new signiture?

Cats destroy the native fauna in oz. That's right the little bastards go out at night and hunt down and kill all the cute little furry creatures. During the day they destroy the local lizard populations. Cats and cat lovers deserved to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Dogs are particularly stupid creatures and also deserve to be put up against the wall and shot, also with the owners who buy them as little puppies and then dump them when they get big.

Dennis your dog only likes cheese because it pretended to be a mouldy block of cheddar in order to get thrown out of the taco bell before becoming the main ingrediant.

Potaroos are the caper, smart good looking and they eat funnel webs. Gotta love em. So of course the government doesn't allow citizens to raise them, they would rather citizens raised cats which then go on and destroy the local environment.

[PJB]

didn't know if i new ya well enough to call you by name and didn't want to make assumptions without you giving me that right :)

Chenko:
I think i've seen cats do all those things accept bark

[Sophtware]

I swear if a cat could talk it would be an *******.

I have a dog..and i love him..he is so cool... he is a full bred pit-bull.. and he is not vicious either.. we didnt raise him from a pup to be mean.. he is just playful..hehe too say the least..we named him "red" ...well frankly because his body color is reddish-brown... i dont think calling him "brown" would sound as cool or be appropriate ;)

Dogs are not stupid..they are just dogs...and that is that..

[Benjamin]

pitbulls are f-ing HUGE dogs.... there is one on my block... he is really friendly, BUT I am scared like **** of him......

it's not that he's mean, but he's just a puppy and he likes chasing you.. especially if you are running....


but one time this little **** that lives on our neighborhood really pissed the dog off, and it bit him..... hehehe.... he is a dick(the kid that got bit)

[HarryW]

*** is a potaroo?

[PJB]

was gonna ask that same thing myself

[PJB]

maybe this is what Jethro was referring to :
http://www.erin.gov.au/life/end_vuln/animals/potoroo.html

[HarryW]

Cute lil fella

Potoroos look like rats.
Squirrels are rats
Beavers are rats

I hate rats

[paulw]

I like cats, my wife likes dogs. So...

We haven't got a pet.

A whole thread on cats and nobody has said how nice a warm furry ***** can be:)

P.

[paulw]

I can't believe I posted that:(

P.

[barrk]

shame on you Paul.........funny though!

[JPRoy392]

I agree with Paul. That's one "cat" that I am not alergic to!

[PJB]

Does anyone remember Bill the Cat from Bloom County, now there was a cat i could relate to

[barrk]

AACCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paulw]

Who/What was/is Bill the Cat/Bloom County?

Confused.

P.

[PJB]

[PJB]

[paulw]

Ahhh. A cartoon, I see. Why did it make Katie choke though... hmmm, maybe I don't want to know.

P.

[Gary.Lowe]

I havn't got a cat or a dog but I have 2 Chinchillas.
They Are Great

The down side is they do crap every where, but thats where a dust buster comes in handy.

When they snuff they will make great coats too (only joking)

[barrk]

Bill the Cat always had a hairball...particularly when he found something offensive.....he was very funny! Definitely a political animal....too bad he's gone! I also liked Opus.

[Sophtware]

So that is who bill the cat is...i would always see stickers of him on peoples cars and ****...but i didnt know who he was..

Corrections:

The only cat i like right now that i can remember is garfield the cat ;) EEK! the cat ;) and hobbes from calvin and hobbes (even though hobbes is a lion or whatever..it is a type of feline)

[HarryW]

I like rats. My friend had a rat. It was cool.

[Benjamin]

I used to have a rat......
and I am not joking.... it had the biggest balls I had ever seen on an animal... it must have had cancer..... right before we put it to sleep, they got so big, that he couldn't even walk.

I think I'm going to spend most of the next four years doing Bill the Cat imitations...unfortunately!

[paulw]

honeybee

I definitely DO NOT want to know anything more about you and your dog - now about me and my sheep...

Cheers,

P.

PS Is it just me or is this thread going downhill?

[Benjamin]

you and your sheep??

hmmmm... if only we could add music threads, I would add "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep" by wierd al yankovic.. ;)

[Paul Warren]

Jethro - what the hell is a Potaroo ?

[PJB]

Posted this earlier Paul you musta missed it:
http://www.erin.gov.au/life/end_vuln/animals/potoroo.html
basically a rat

[HarryW]

Or maybe Metallica - So What would be appropriate ;) (one verse anyway)

If you must Honeybee, how is WonderWoman's favourite suitor these days?

[tumblingdown]

I love pussies.



td.

[Paul Warren]

I can't believe it took 71 replies for someone to think of that joke.

[tumblingdown]

What? I do love pussies.



td.

[barrk]

Ok td...but how do you feel about cats?

[tumblingdown]

Oh. Right.

Take or leave 'em.



td.

[barrk]

LOL

[parksie]

Yep. Definitely downhill (thankfully).

I hate climbing :)

[smh]

I myself have two cats (had to have 2 so the one wasn't lonely). I saved one of my cats from the pound and then was given another one from a friend who found a lost kitten. My cats are much easier to take care of than a dog. All I have to do for them is change the cat box and make sure their is food in the bowl. And when they snuggle with me at night, they keep me warm, and don't snore like my fiance does. One of them is declawed and fixed so far. I don't have to worry about them being around my 11 month old son, because the one that is declawed won't even be in the same room with him, and the one that's not declawed loves attention from him. He can pull a whole handful of hair out of her and she thinks she's getting a really good massage. I did name them kind of strange for being cats...their name are Scooby and Scrappy, like on the cartoon Scooby Doo.

[HarryW]

Hmm... wouldn't be my first choice... or even appear on my list :rolleyes:

[barrk]

Glad to hear it Harry!

[JPRoy392]

I might not like cats, but this is just plain silly:
