I’m sick and tired of every tom dick and harry talking about his cat on this board as if IT were special. I don’t care! Not many people do. They’re glorified rodents and I have many examples as to why I think that way.
Thank you for properly naming your thread and all that but get a life! Your cat stories are even more boring on the internet than in person which is barely tolerable. Cats are stupid loafers with little tiny rodent brains.
Shut the fuck up about your cats already and have some children worth mentioning. …Humans, on which you can attach your pride. Until then, I can give two little cat turds in a litter box about your dumb rodent pet.
TABBY DID THE CUTEST THING TODAY! (oh she just meowed, she wants play) She grabbed the catnip mouse in her front paws and hopped around on her hind legs tussling with it! SHES SO SPECIAL AND CUTE AND SWEET!
Besides, my kids don’t do nearly as many cute things as my cats do, and if I talk about my cats, there’s little danger anyone will think I’m bragging and resent me.
Umm, I really hope you aren’t saying you think cats are rodents. I could give you a whole explanation of the difference, but somehow I don’t think it’s worth the effort.
Oh, and rodents might have tiny brains but intellectually they’re capable of some pretty amazing stuff.
By the way, I have both. On the whole, I’ve seldom met a critter I didn’t like. Humans, however…
Oh yes, and I have kids, in case you’re wondering. Two of them in fact, teenage boys. They’re kind of past the cute stage, but I surely am proud of them and I tell that to anyone who’ll listen.
There, happy?!
Cats are no different than dogs: Bred for humans. The only exception is that dogs have a symbiotic relationship with humans, which cats (nor their owners) do not.
Show me a Seeing Eye cat or a drug-sniffing cat. Show me a cat that will track a killer for miles or a rescue cat that saves drowning children. Maybe a bomb cat or a police cat? No? Why?
Because they’re filthy rodents that survive because dumb humans impose personalities on them, which they wished their kids possessed.
Why does it bother you so that people enjoy their pets?
No, they’re not working animals, other than as ratters, companions and pest control (mine like killing any roaches that ever show up) but we still enjoy them.
Let me guess - you get a dog just to train him to become a tracking, drug-sniffing, rescue dog. Right? Because otherwise, it really doesn’t matter. Dogs can’t really do much more around the house than cats can.
I have a dog, which clearly shows his intention to protect every member of my family. He is worth every scrap of meat I feed him. I love him and my family loves him because we have a reciprocal relationship. He expects from me and I expect from him.
Cats are stupid loafers who benefit only from the cute eyebrows of dogs.
My point is that before now you didn’t know I had a dog, or kids or a family. People who go out of their way to discuss their cats frighten me and seem unreasonable. They are probably the same fuckers who steal my empty shopping cart when I’m not looking and the same people who have clear consciences because they recycle their trash.
