Cat vs DVD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca7xQYwzQ80#)

I'm really not a cat person - as in, I despise cats from the deepest place in my gut. But they sure do some curious and playful things. I can understand why people are drawn to them. I'm just not. I know it's my own problem. Perhaps even a deficiency. But it is what it is.
Cute kitty.

Well Cats are the conservatives of the Animal world. They pretty much keep to themselves, don't require you to be home, may not care for you to be around at all really, and are basically independent - or as independent as you can be and still be a pet. Dogs are like having 3 year olds that just never grow up. They require constant attention, cant really be left alone for extended periods, and just are more needy animals. More loving and faithful for sure, and way better guards. I like dogs - especially dogs owned by others. Don't really want one of my own. There is probably one coming, but he will never get let in the house.

If someone is dedicated getting into your home
a dog in the yard will not stop him, a dog in
the house may.

Cats are relentless killing machines. We have four of them for vermin control at our house. In my opinion, rural living makes a cat (or several) a necessity. We have two dedicated for outdoors (the first line of defense) and two indoors (the cleanup hitters).
If cats could, they would carry and use firearms.

Now that is some funny stuff . . .

My Grandma had feral cats in her tumbledown woodshed on her farm for rodent control. Once, during a rare winter visit (snow in the Appalachian Mountains back then meant you didn't get out for days or even weeks), I took some cornbread and milk out to the cats. My Grandma had a shyt fit. "You feed them cats and they won't catch mice!"

I told Pan my story. I'm a dog person, but get along with all animals: Ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, etc. I had a wonderful mutt as a kid. When I moved to the City I moved in with my friend who had inherited an elderly cat, Belle, from one of his friend's parents. (They were downsizing from a house to a condo. The condo only allowed one pet. The dog went with them and the cat went.) That was my first time living with a cat, not just visiting. I was amazed at the difference in the affection level between cats and dogs, but once a cat warms up to you, their PDA is amazing. Still like dogs, though, I like the physical roughhousing.

They will, though. Mice are not necessarily a "food" thing to cats.

And I've had dogs that were just as obsessed with vermin as cats. I had a little mixed dachshund who would run down and kill any squirrel, rabbit, or mouse that came in the yard. He would then parade around with it, before depositing it at the doorstep in triumph.
I had a golden retriever whose obsession was turtles. He would saunter up to the back door with slobber dripping out of his mouth where it was wrapped around a box turtle retracted into its shell. I could take the turtle and walk half a mile back into the woods and release it at the creek, and as soon as we let the dog back out he would track immediately to where that exact turtle was and bring it right back. I was always amazed at how effortlessly he could foil our attempts to obscure where the turtle had been freed.

One didn't argue with Grandma. She had a wooden butter paddle and knew how to use it.

Heh, I would agree. As a species they seem much more comfortable with predatory action.
Been a dog family a long time, but have my first cat and he's turning 7 this summer, been a learning experience but he has character and likes to curl up in the lap or go do his own thing. Easy to take care for and I can take off to the lake and not be worried about him while I am gone.
My sister has a really good outdoor cat, he kills little critters all the time and she gets compliments from the neighbors for ridding pests from their yards. Even in the winter he roams the neighborhood for hours.

Democrat voters in other words. And just like any OWSer, will crap on anything, unlike Conservative Cats who know where the bathroom is.

But certainly better looking than the typical Democrat dog, such as

She's aged rather well, if I do say so myself.

One of my cats mauled me this summer. She was in the yard staring down a 8-10 foot snake, coiled and ready to strike - it would his, then the cat would his. . I think it was a bull snake , but it may have been a rattler. I wasn't able to get a positive ID either way, but I knew that the cat would probably loose the fight, and there would be a trip to the vet, so I decided to remove her from it. She knew I was there, knew I was coming, but she was watching the snake. I talked to her as I picked her up and waked away briskly -- She was pissed. She scratched me pretty good and then bit me. Dropping to the ground, where does she go? Right back to the snake. So I go back again. She gets the other arm. So now, covered in blood, I go to find bandages (and then later a Doctor, because the wound got infected) I come back out. She is still there, making sure that snake doesn't come any further into the yard. In the end she won- and the snake left, without a fight ( I guess the demonstration on me was enough) Cats are a lot of things, but they are only Pussies in name. Most can tear your face off if they decided to, and can really be excellent hunters- even when well fed.
They crap in an area the size of a toilet, they are clean enough that given them an actual bath is a rare thing, and they are independent enough to always make sure you respect them. And cats understand time well enough to not get overly excited when you leave the house and come back after 5 minutes. Yes, cats are certainly a more conservative pet than a dog. Liberals tend not to own them for that reason, and the liberals do tend to treat their dogs like surrogate children, and not as pets. ( In the people's public of Boulder, you don't own a dog. You adopt them and they are your wards. No kidding)

I've heard of many dogs being sprayed by skunks, nailed by porcupines, etc but I never heard of a cat doing the same, I think they have a better threat assessment ability. It appears kitty doesn't like snakes (who does?) and was content being a sentinel against any further encroachment upon her territory, painful lesson for the human though!
;D

My cats are food bank cats.
Well, 2 of the 3 are. All are outside cats.
The mom, Bootsie is the only one worth a hill of beans.
She hunts and will be gone for a few days at a time
Her daughter, Kiwi, aka Fat Cat, never goes far from the door and she is right there always waiting for the hand out.
Both girls are fixed.
The youngest, Chester, is a sweet guy but I think he's gay.
He's got the limp paw look.
He doesn't go far from the house either

You guys are funny today.
Maybe it's the less gay, more sympathy ploy.

I know his mother, but swear that his father was a possum.
If you walk up to him. he just lays down and plays submissive likehe's dead

LOL.
Ours will do that too when he knows I'm after him for something or another. I guess he figures running from our house's Official Cat Terrorizer is futile because I *will* catch him and whack his azz.

If his father was a 'possum, and his mother a cat, does that make them guilty of bestiality?
On a similar note, I recently saw a rooster(chicken) do something profane to a duck. She did protest loudly the whole time...not that long, roosters are quick....and I must say at least it was a female duck but I was rather stunned at the sight. I have never raised ducks, so have never seen that particular event before. Apparently it is a regular event, for this rooster and his ducks.

Reminds me of that classic Richard Pryor bit where he talks about his dogs being perplexed at the sight of a pony. "I don't know what it is....but I'm gonna **** it."
