Why Cats are better than dogs...

[Thumper]

Why is it that men are categorized as cat haters. As evidenced in another thread about what not to ask your female partner.

Cats are smarter than dogs...period.

Kick a dog and he comes back wagging his tail...kick a cat and it's adios MF'er

Dogs crap on the carpet and walk in it!
Cats take it outside or go in a box...

My dog barks his fool head off at people he has seen many times before..dipshit!

Dogs can be trained to do menial tasks...so can idiots and morons. Cats are very hard to train..they don't play that shit.

I have actually trained my cat to ring the bells hanging off the doorknob when he wants out..but I swear everytime he tilts his ears back and gives me this disgusted "You want me to ring these stupid bells dontcha?" look. "OK damnit I'll do it but only cause I gotta shit!" Then he gives it this half assed flip of the paw...

Why this thread...because the stupid dog we have just ate a handful of paintballs and promptly upchucked them on the carpet...nice color purple. I so hate that dog. It's not like they were laying around, he had to get into the box and get his stupid face into the bag to get at them. And why? They are not edible and they don't smell good...STUPID STUPID STUPID! If my son didn't love it I would punt his hairy ass outta here. Drop kick I say! Right through the dog pound goalposts. It's up and it's good...

Give me a cat anyday...a big one...a big pussy with stripes..

A Bengal tiger..then we'll introduce him to the paintball barfing schnauzer..

You want gravy with that?

Give me a cat anyday...a big one...a big pussy with stripes..

I have a pussy- no stripes though. I still think you'd like it. I mean, her.

 

[Juspar Emvan]

Dogs

LMFAO

Not having a good day Thumper?

Gotta agree, cats over dogs anytime. Cats pass judgement, dogs are just dumb. If the dog likes you, thats just cause thats what they do. If a cat likes you it's because it likes you.

Besides, pussy is so sweet.

 

[Becca Btr N Btr]

I happen to adore schnauzers. My only thought is that maybe yours' was trying to kill itself to be away from you as a hateful human.
I love all animals. They are all unique and worthy of our love and respect. I am sure you have done some stupid things in your life. Wouldn't it be sad if whoever you caused trouble for hated you this much.
I am sure in the scheme of things though, you are right and I am wrong. Carpet is much more important than an animal that is alive and in need of love.

 

[Unclebill]

It's all in the attitude!

Dogs dote on humans for attention, affection, praise and whatever other interaction they can elicit. They forgive virtually any slight of their human owner and come back begging for positive strokes. YOU own a dog!

Cats regards you as their property, period. When a cat is nuzzling and rubbing around you, that's not a display of affection. It is marking you with its scent as it marks a couch, chair, post or tree. A cat owns YOU!

 

[Ezzy]

Why is some men are called Dog haters...

Must be the way they treat their dogs.

Dogs are more in need of direction as pack animals they like to know who they can trust and who they can't trust.

Cats are more solitary creatures, and are not a pack animal.

Does this make dogs dumber, nope but it means they need different things than cats do.

BTW if the dog ever becomes to much for you send me an E mail and I will ship him somewhere he can be loved.

I'm sorry....this begged to be posted on this thread

For the record, I am a dog person, but a good poem is a good poem.

Curiosity
Alistair Reid

Curiosity
may have killed the cat; more likely
the cat was just unlucky, or else curious
to see what death was like, having no cause
to go on licking paws, or fathering
litter on litter of kittens, predictably.

Nevertheless, to be curious
is dangerous enough. To distrust
what is always said, what seems,
to ask odd questions, interfere in dreams,
leave home, smell rats, have hunches
does not endear him to those doggy circles
where well-smelt baskets, suitable wives, good lunches
are the order of things, and where prevails
much wagging of incurious heads and tails.

Face it. Curiosity
will not cause him to die --
only lack of it will.
Never to want to see
the other side of the hill,
or that improbable country
where living is an idyll
(although a probable hell)
would kill us all.
Only the curious
have, if they live, a tale
worth telling at all.

Dogs say he loves too much, is irresponsible,
is changeable, marries too many wives,
deserts his children, chills all dinner tables
with tales of his nine lives.
Well, he is lucky. Let him be
nine-lived and contradictory,
curious enough to change, prepared to pay
the cat price, which is to die
and die again and again,
each time with no less pain.
A cat minority of one
is all that can be counted on
to tell the truth. And what he has to tell
on each return from hell
is this: that dying is what the living do,
that dying is what the loving do,
and that dead dogs are those who do not know
that hell is where, to live, they have to go.

I agree...I love cats, but I'll give a puppy a scratch if he begs.

Thumper...you should cum over here and pet my pussy...

My dog Elvis is the rare genius dog. He is also psychic. He knows when I am energized -- he trots along beside me as we walk, taking about 15 steps for every one of mine. He knows when I'm sick or tired -- he climbs on the bed with me and sleeps thisclose, never moving so as not to disturb me. When I'm working, he lies in his dog bed next to my desk in case I have questions, or on my bed so that he can gaze intelligently at me (at least until he falls asleep).

He was quick to learn essential tricks:

1) Stay off the furniture. OK, stay off the furniture WHEN I'M HOME. Often when I come in the door, there'll be a warm dent in the couch cushion. (Maybe it's a burglar.)

2) The mail carrier is the enemy. She brings the bills. Go ahead and bark like crazy. Yes, each and every day. Even though she drops dog biscuits through the mail slot.

Genius? I think so.

 

[Thumper]

Hateful...Moi???

It's not so much the dog I can't stand Becca as it is the stupidity. If he was trying to commit suicide, then why paintballs? Why not just fuck with the cat? Yes I have done some dumb things before...but big difference here..I learned from the mistakes. This animal can't or won't. He is stupid...he can be damn cute at times but he is soooo retarded. Get a sense of humor will ya..geez...didja really think I kicked the dog?

So true Bill...I however think the cat doesn't so much as own me as it accepts me...especially when I have a can of catfood in my hand.

MP..Good poem..

Some cats are pack animals...Lions for one, they hunt and raise their young together. Domestic cats have been observed doing this also...but they do tend to be more solitary in general..maybe that is why I like them.

Juspar...It could be better...LOL

and...Cheyenne you were saying

Ok..so that's how slow I am..three people post while I am typing this one up..

Countess...Cat Fcratch Fever hehehe Iz-I-is you'll have to ask KillerMuffin about who catwoman is...she did the Batman thread..

Not all dogs are stupid..just the one I am blessed with I guess...

[Becca Btr N Btr]

Nope, I did not. However, I did think you were an insensitive asshole for thinking you were funny.

What I really believe is your Schnauzer is not properly cared for by you. If you do not give it enough attention, love and exercise it is completely understandable that it would go looking for something to get your attention. You need to accept your responsibility in your pet’s behavior and in your not keeping things that should be out of reach just that. If you do not do your job, your pet is intelligent enough to search out anything to keep it entertained or to find some other way to occupy its self. That is not STUPID...that is boredom!

YOU however are stupid.

Re: Hateful...Moi???

They say dogs grow to be like their owners

[Thumper]

Really?

Wanna match IQ's?

There are four people here Becca. He gets plenty of attention. The boys were with him when he did it...you actually believe he planned on eating them and then puking on the carpet to get my attention? If I was insensitive I would have really kicked his ass out(read: found a better home) but in deference to my son's feelings I just cleaned up the mess, as usual. I will be kind and not let the dog read this thread though. Wouldn't want to hurt his feeligs now would we?

I am too busy to cater to a dog's "needs"...

and it was funny..so bite me

We have only had him for a year. If they grow to be like their owners maybe he has a chance then

Don't worry about the dog he is right now fast asleep with my youngest son...sounds like he is really neglected...

[Dillinger]

Inbetween in a weird sort of way. Two cats, both Siamese... Siamese are the closest you can get to a dog in a cat. They are devoted, they miss you when you're gone, they "talk" to you, they great you when you come home... yet they also tend to themselves, clean themselves, don't need to be walked, give you "those" looks... calm you when you're stressed, stress you when you're calm...

I could go on... but I'm sure you all get the point.

 

[jcgirl]

I have 3 wonderful dogs that are my best friends. I wouldnt trade them for even a fur ball

 

[Comshaw]

Animals are like humans in a lot of ways, one being that all dogs aren't created intellectually equal. There are some plain dumb-ass dogs out there, just like there are some dumb-ass humans out there.
Me? Well I've got an ugly ass Blue Healer. He's ugly but smarter then hell.
We also have four cats. Mine got killed a few years ago. He was a 16 pound long hair Manx. Looked like a miniature bobcat. Ruled this place he did. I was his and that was that.
We also have two of the orneryist most fearless bundles of fur ever domesticated. Ferrets. PeeWee and Weasel. When we let them out, the cats un-ass the place and CB (the ugly one) stands at the door and whines until we let him out. None of them want to tangle with those two terrors.
Along with all the above, we also have two horses.
I've been around and owned animals all my life. Never project human characteristics onto an animal. They are who they are. Some are smart as a whip and some are dumb as a post. If you like them who the hell cares? My dog maybe ugly but I wouldn't trade him for a passle of groomed lap dogs.
A year or so ago I read an article about a group of scientists who administered an intelligence test to 200 canine breeds. Seems like I remember that the Border Collie can in first and that damned ugly mutt of mine came in third. I knew he was smart the last time he beat me at poker! Took my whole damn pile of milk bones. That's why I call him ugly, it's the only way I can get back at him!

[Silverlily]

YOU however are stupid.

MEOW! Someone's having a pissy day.


Thumper-bunny, I of course prefer kitties anyday.

 

[BrainyBeauty]

And they call it puppy love

Thumper, I am like an inter-species crossbreed. I am soft and warm and cuddly and loving like a puppy. Yet I have a pussy.

I can tell that you ARE an animal lover so come on over here darlin and let me lick your wounds.

 

[CRaZy]

William Glasser the great educational psychologist once said that if Pavlov did his experiments with cats he would never have developed a theory. That is indeed true. Cats do everything when and how they feel like it.

I like dogs but they frustrate me. There are stray puppies that come to school. The kids torture them. Next day they come back. For some reason I have never seen a stray cat at school.

A year ago I inherited two cats. I have always had cats but mean, lean, independent, don't-look-at-me-sideways-cats rescued from the rubbish dump. These two are different. My brother and his wife treated them like children - let them sleep with them etc. Then they had a baby. Cats tried to kill the baby. CRaZy inherits the cats.

My partner and I work long hours and the cats have to sleep in the garage. They have taken umbrage at our neglect. They sit on the doorstep like dogs till we come home then saunter into the house with a "where the fuck have you been?" look. The female has taken to jumping off high places and breaking her leg in protest. Partner keeps threatening that next visit to vet will be her last. He is tired of climbing onto the roof at midnight for some reason.

The male cat is a breeze in comparison. He just runs under the fence of the Alsation across the road to make him bark then runs away again. Do these cats drive me insane? YES. Do I love them anyway? YES. Because it's nice to have someone glad to see me given partner's monosyllabic grumpiness in the morning. I get to have great conversations with the cats.

All pets are good for you. I think those of us who are busy are probably not so good for our pets. :-(

Re: Hateful...Moi???

Iz-I-is you'll have to ask KillerMuffin about who catwoman is...she did the Batman thread..

 

[Thumper]

There she is Batman!!

The catwoman..and what a pussy!

The whole point of this thread was not the dog...

It was why men are constantly portrayed as cat haters in all the so called mens' magazines like Maxim and Gear etc.

I have known men in real life that despised cats and they tended to be a bit more chauvinistic than those who liked cats. These are the kinda guys in general that tended to be insensitive to their partners. Had no trouble telling a woman anything to get her in bed and then not calling her. "I got mine what's wrong with you, are ya frigid" kinda guys. I don't mean to generalize and I know there are exceptions to this...Guys who like dogs like control and dogs are easy to control..with cats you need to learn a little about the other side and exercise a little more give and take. Diplomacy.

I happen to like animals too...all kinds...I have a well entrenched case of Arachnophobia..I absolutely dread those eight legged little bastards..but if I find one in the house I get a cup and piece of paper and escort his hairy ass outside..if I find one on me..all bets are off, he dies and I dance and shudder.

I will probably die in a car accident when one rappels down from the sunvisor and into my face someday...

 

[Isabella Thorne]

Fighting like cats and dogs ...

you know what ... i don't know why but people (whether they be men or women) will argue to the death over whether cats or dogs make the better pet ...

i have no idea why that is ... but i have seen it over and over again ... and i saw it on this thread ....

personally i love both animals ... all animals ... dogs are wonderful loving pets too ... they do require more attention though ... that is a fact ... cats are way more independent ... so maybe it has to do with our personalitites as to which we prefer ... i'm not sure ... i sure don't think it it has anything to do whether we are male or female ...

i had a weird incident happen recently about cats and dogs too in r/l ... but then again ... so much that happens on this board with certain people parallels my r/l ....

hey .... April ... nice to see you girl ... i've been thinking lately that you've been pretty scarce around these parts ...

I have seen it...yep two big ears and long whiskers..head tilted to one side..

I personally like the Cat in The Hat myself Izzy...

and no need to fight like..er..cats and dogs over the issue

I try to be kind to all animals...the human ones are hardest to tolerate though. Most of'em anyway.

 

[CreamyLady]

I have known rather nice dogs, but no really smart ones.

Cats, however, are not only intelligent they are born doms. I've been JP's slave since he was a kitten, and he has me very well trained.

Since I have to serve him breakfast no later than 7:00 a.m., he enforces a reasonable bedtime by the simple expedient of jumping on any book I'm reading and staring pointedly at the lamp.

I sleep in the position dictated by him.

If I'm suffering stress or any kind of a problem, he will give me 15 minutes of lap time so I can stroke his fur and calm down. After that, I am to solve the problem; it disrupts his schedule.

He is very smart, sweet when he wants to be, and about 11 pounds of pure attitude. I love that cat.
